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 the prediction of sedimentation profiles in analytical ultracentrifugation, the counterflow due to diffusion must be taken into account for a proper analysis of experimental data in the determination of molecular properties. This is usually achieved by numerical solution of the Lamm equation. This paper presents an alternative approach, in which the displacement of the solute in the cell, resulting from the opposite effects of ultracentrifugal force and diffusional drift, is described by Brownian dynamics simulation of the solute particles. The formalism is developed for heterogeneous solutes, composed of several species, and implemented in computational schemes and tools. The accuracy of the procedure is verified by comparison with other methods based on the Lamm equation, and its efficiency is illustrated. The possibilities offered by the Brownian dynamics methods in the determination of solute properties and sample composition are demonstrated.
