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

The evolution of basal spacing and interfacial structure of kaolinite-N-methylformamide (NMF) complexes during the intercalation process were difficult to obtain using experimental methods. In present study, a series of kaolinite-NMF complex models with various numbers of NMF molecules in the interlayer space were constructed to mimic the progressive stage of the intercalation process of kaolinite intercalated by NMF. The MD simulations were performed on these models to explore the evolution of basal spacing and interfacial structure of kaolinite-NMF complexes during the intercalation process. It was found that the basal spacing of complex was stabilized at 11 Å during the intercalation process, where the molecular plane of NMF oriented at small angles with respect to the interlayer surface with the C=O groups and N-H bonds pointing toward the octahedral and tetrahedral surfaces, respectively, due to the hydrogen bonding interactions. The basal spacing can be enlarged to larger values with the prerequisite of overcoming the energy barrier. With the increase of basal spacing during the intercalation process, the NMF were rearranged as a pillar with the molecular planes orienting at higher angles with respect to the interlayer surface, and then developed to disordered bilayer structure. For the interfacial interaction of kaolinite-NMF complex, both the octahedral surface and tetrahedral surface showed binding affinity to the NMF, which is the driving force for the intercalation of NMF in kaolinite. The octahedral surface displays stronger binding affinity to the NMF in terms of the H-bonds and energetics compared to the tetrahedral surface partially due to the highly active surface hydroxyl groups. The present study provides insight into the basal spacing evolution, and interfacial structure and interaction of kaolinite-NMF complexes, which can enhance the understanding of kaolinite intercalated by small molecules.
