On the applicability of entropy potentials in transport problems.
Article in The European physical journal. Special topics, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers.
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
Transport in confined structures of varying geometry has become the subject of growing attention in recent years since such structures are ubiquitous in biology and technology. In analyzing transport in systems of this type, the notion of entropy potentials is widely used. Entropy potentials naturally arise in one-dimensional description of equilibrium distributions in multidimensional confined structures. However, their application to transport problems requires some caution. In this article we discuss such applications and summarize the results of recent studies exploring the limits of applicability. We also consider an example of a transport problem in a system of varying geometry, where the conventional approach is inapplicable since the geometry changes abruptly. In addition, we demonstrate how the entropy potential can be used to analyze optimal transport through a tree-dimensional cosine-shaped channel.
