Fabrication of eco-friendly durable superhydrophobic bamboo surfaces
Article in RSC advances, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Bamboo is emerging as a renewable alternative to plastic and wood, with growing adoption in sustainable construction and consumer applications. However, its broader use is hindered by high water absorption and limited environmental durability, particularly in outdoor or high-humidity conditions. In this study, we aim to develop a facile and environmentally friendly method to endow bamboo surfaces with superhydrophobic and self-cleaning properties. To achieve this, a sol-gel composed of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and hexadecyltrimethoxysilane (HDTMS) was uniformly applied to polished bamboo surfaces using a brush. This treatment promotes the formation of a dual-scale hierarchical surface, with hydrophobically modified SiO
