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

Poly-l-ysine dendrigrafts are promising systems for biomedical applications due to their biodegradability, biocompatibility, and similarity to dendrimers. There are many papers about the use of dendrigrafts as nanocontainers for drug delivery. At the same time, the number of studies about their physical properties is limited, and computer simulations of dendrigrafts are almost absent. This paper presents the results of a systematic molecular dynamics simulation study of third-generation lysine dendrigrafts with different topologies. The size and internal structures of the dendrigrafts were calculated. We discovered that the size of dendrigrafts of the same molecular weight depends on their topology. The shape of all studied dendrigrafts is close to spherical. Density profile of dendrigrafts depends on their topology.
