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

In this numerical study, the transport and dynamics of an isolated DNA in rotational flow generated in a microchannel have been investigated using dissipative particle dynamics. Often, inertial flow through microchannels with a sudden change in surface structure facilitates a re-circulation or vortex region. The conformation and mobility of the bio-polymer under the influence of such rotating fluid inside a square cavity of the microchannel is analyzed. The flexible polymer chain is found to migrate towards the rotating region and follows the vortex streamline. The orientation, size and tumbling period of polymer strands are affected by the strength of the microvortex. At elevated flow rates, the macromolecule prefers to remain inside the vortex and a hydrodynamic trap is formed. Moreover, residence time of the single molecule in the microcavity is significantly influenced by the chain length and flow strength. Further, it has been demonstrated that, such entrapment duration can be strategically altered by modifying the hydrophobicity of the microchannel.
