Morphometry and structure of natural random tilings.
Article in The European physical journal. E, Soft matter, 2010. 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
A vast range of both living and inanimate planar cellular partitions obeys universal empirical laws describing their structure. To better understand this observation, we analyze the morphometric parameters of a sizeable set of experimental data that includes animal and plant tissues, patterns in desiccated starch slurry, suprafroth in type-I superconductors, soap froths, and geological formations. We characterize the tilings by the distributions of polygon reduced area, a scale-free measure of the roundedness of polygons. These distributions are fairly sharp and seem to belong to the same family. We show that the experimental tilings can be mapped onto the model tilings of equal-area, equal-perimeter polygons obtained by numerical simulations. This suggests that the random two-dimensional patterns can be parametrized by their median reduced area alone.
