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

This study proposes a novel approach, namely, skin flow complex algorithm (SFCA), to decompose the molecular skin surface into topological disks. The main contributions of SFCA include providing a simple decomposition and fast calculation of the molecular skin surface. Unlike most existing works which partition the molecular skin surface into sphere and hyperboloid patches, SFCA partitions the molecular skin surface into triangular quadratic patches and rectangular quadratic patches. Each quadratic patch is proven to be a topological disk and rendered by a rational Bézier patch. The skin surface is constructed by assembling all rational Bézier patches. Experimental results show that the SFCA is more efficient than most existing algorithms, and produces a triangulation of molecular skin surface which is decomposable, deformable, smooth, watertight and feature-preserved.
