The Effective Charge of Low-Fouling Polybetaine Brushes.
Article in Langmuir : the ACS journal of surfaces and colloids, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Polybetaine nanobrushes are widely used as inert platforms for label-free biosensing due to their resistance to nonspecific interactions. Despite being considered cationic or electrically neutral, polybetaines can exhibit a negative zeta potential (ZP) at pHs above their isoelectric point (pI). To clarify whether negative zeta potential effectively contributes to surface interactions, we examined three types of nanobrushes deposited on a planar gold substrate: two polybetaines: poly(carboxybetaine methacrylamide) (pCBMAA) and poly(sulfobetaine methacrylamide) (pSBMAA) and hydrophilic poly[
