Surfactant Molecular Properties Control Location in Emulsion Electrospun Fibers and Dictate Resulting Fiber Properties.
Article in Macromolecules, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Emulsion electrospinning is a versatile technique to generate nonwoven fibrous meshes. Using surfactants to reduce surface tension at the needle tip and interfacial tension between continuous and dispersed phases in an emulsion modifies final fiber characteristics critical for performance in drug delivery and tissue engineering applications. This study aimed to investigate the role of nonionic surfactant location and modulation of surface and interfacial tension during the electrospinning process on resulting fiber properties. Bulk visual analysis of emulsion stability, fiber morphology and diameter, and wettability of final mesh was assessed. Polyglycerol polyricenoleate (PGPR) demonstrated highest emulsion stability. All other surfactants decreased fiber diameter. Mesh wettability increased with surfactant addition and was further modulated in emulsions. Overall, results demonstrated that surfactant molecular properties including hydrophobic-lipophilic balance (HLB) value and partition coefficient (logP) can be used as predictors to determine surfactant location and dictate fiber properties in single phase and emulsion electrospinning systems.
