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

We explore a wide variety of patterns of closed surfaces that minimize the elastic bending energy with fixed surface area and volume. To avoid complicated discretization and numerical instabilities for sharp surfaces, we reformulate the underlying constrained minimization problem by constructing phase-field functionals of bending energy with penalty terms for the constraints and develop stable numerical methods to relax these functionals. We report our extensive computational results with different initial surfaces. These results are discussed in terms of the reduced volume and are compared with the known results obtained using the sharp-interface approach. Finally, we discuss the implications of our numerical findings.
