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

We study trapping of diffusing particles by a periodic non-uniform boundary formed by absorbing spikes protruding from a reflecting flat base. It is argued that such a boundary can be replaced by a flat uniform partially absorbing boundary with a properly chosen effective trapping rate. Assuming that the spikes are short compared to the inter-spike distance, we propose an approximate expression which gives the trapping rate in terms of geometric parameters of the boundary and the particle diffusivity. To validate this result, we compare some theoretical predictions based on the expression for the effective trapping rate with corresponding quantities obtained from Brownian dynamics simulations.
