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

Inspired by experimental work on colloidal cuboid-polymer dispersions (Rossi et al., Soft Matter, 7, 4139 (2011)) we have theoretically studied the phase behaviour of such mixtures. To that end, free volume theory (FVT) was applied to predict the phase behaviour of mixtures of superballs and non-adsorbing polymer chains in a common solvent. Closed expressions for the thermodynamic properties of a suspension of hard colloidal superballs have been derived, accounting for fluid (F), face-centred cubic (FCC) and simple cubic (SC) phase states. Even though the considered solid phases are approximate, the hard superballs phase diagram semi-quantitatively matches with more evolved methods. The theory developed for the cuboid-polymer mixture reveals a rich phase behaviour, which includes not only isostructural F
