Free-energy landscapes of granular clusters grown by magnetic interaction.
Article in The European physical journal. E, Soft matter, 2014. 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
We experimentally study the aggregation of small clusters made of non-Brownian dipolar beads in a vibro-fluidized system. The particles are paramagnetic spheres that add around a fixed magnetic seed inside a granular gas of glass beads. We observe that under appropriate physical conditions symmetric and asymmetric cluster configurations are created and, as the number of particles increases, the aggregation time obeys a power law. We use an ensemble statistics to evaluate the free-energies and entropies landscapes of the granular clusters. The correspondence between such landscapes shows that, even if the system is of macroscopic scale and not in strict equilibrium, our approach to understand the relationship between the cluster structures and the interactions that create them is reliable.
