1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Metal-Assisted and Microwave-Accelerated Evaporative Crystallization (MA-MAEC), is a new approach to crystallization of drug compounds, amino acids, DNA and proteins. In this work, we report our additional findings on the effect of engineered surfaces and sample volume on the rapid crystallization of glycine. With the use of hydrophilic functionalized surfaces and the MA-MAEC technique, glycine crystals ~1 mm in size were grown in 35 seconds with 100% selectivity for the α-form.The use of moderately hydrophobic surfaces resulted in the growth of glycine crystals only at room temperature. An increase in volume of initial glycine solution (5-100 μL) resulted in an increase in crystal size without a significant increase in total crystallization time. Raman spectroscopy and powder X-ray diffraction results demonstrated that the glycine crystals grown on engineered surfaces were structurally identical to those grown using conventional evaporative crystallization.
