The hydration dynamics of polyelectrolyte gels with applications to cell motility and drug delivery.
Article in European biophysics journal : EBJ, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
We combine the physics of gels with the hydrodynamics of two-phase fluids to construct a set of equations that describe the hydration dynamics of polyelectrolyte gels. We use the model to address three problems. First, we express the effective diffusion constants for neutral and charged spherically distributed gels in terms of microscopic parameters. Second, we use the model to describe the locomotion of nematode sperm cells. Finally, we describe the swelling dynamics of polyelectrolyte gels used for drug release.
