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

The formation of a viral capsid can be seen as a time-dependent process generated by the arrival of aggregates of various sizes at a nucleation site. Based on a model where aggregates arrive at a Poissonian rate to form a capsid particle, we develop kinetics assembly equations, that account for a finite size cluster and thus for rejection of too large aggregate. The model is derived under the assumption that the aggregate distribution has reached an exponential steady state. To account for the stochastic nature of the aggregates arrival, we also derive a stochastic equation to compute the mean time for a cluster to be formed. We find that this time has a minimum for a unique aggregate distribution. We obtain asymptotic expression for this time that we compare with numerically simulations. Finally, we find the mean size of the largest aggregate forming a viral capsid.
