Analytical theory of the hydrophobic effect of solutes in water.
Article in Physical review. E, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
We develop an analytical statistical-mechanical model for hydrophobic solvation in water. In this three-dimensional Mercedes-Benz-like model, two neighboring waters have three possible interaction states: a radial van der Waals interaction, a tetrahedral orientation-dependent hydrogen-bonding interaction, or no interaction. Nonpolar solutes are modeled as van der Waals particles of different radii. The model is sufficiently simple that we can calculate the partition function and thermal and volumetric properties of solvation versus temperature, pressure, and solute radius. Predictions are in good agreement with results of Monte Carlo simulations. And their trends agree with experiments on hydrophobic solute insertion. The theory shows that first-shell waters are more highly structured than bulk waters, because of hydrogen bonding, and that that structure melts out faster with temperature than it does in bulk waters. Because the theory is analytical, it can explore a broad range of solvation properties and anomalies of water, at minimal computational expense.
