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 investigated the statistical behaviors of semiflexible polymer chains, which were simultaneously subjected to force stretching and rectangular tube confinement. Based on the wormlike chain model and Odijk deflection theory, we derived a new deflection length, by using which new compact formulas were obtained for the confinement free energy and force⁻confinement⁻extension relations. These newly derived formulas were justified by numerical solutions of the eigenvalue problem associated with the Fokker⁻Planck governing equation and extensive Brownian dynamics simulations based on the so-called generalized bead-rod (GBR) model. We found that, compared to classical deflection theory, these new formulas were valid for a much more extended range of the confinement size/persistence length ratio and had no adjustable fitting parameters for sufficiently long semiflexible chains in the whole deflection regime.
