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

Effect of microwave heating on the crystallization of glutathione (GSH) tripeptide using the metal-assisted and microwave-accelerated evaporative crystallization (MA-MAEC) technique is reported. GSH crystals were grown from supersaturated solutions of GSH (300-500 mg/mL) on the iCrystal plates with silver nanoparticle films (SNFs) and without SNFs in three different microwave systems operating at 2.45 GHz: conventional (multimode, fixed power at 900W), industrial (monomode, variable power up to 1200 W), and the iCrystal system (monomode, variable power up to 100 W). The efficacy of the MA-MAEC technique, in terms of improvement in the crystallization time, crystal size and quality of GSH, was compared between the three microwave systems and the crystallization at room temperature (no microwave heating, a control experiment). Optical microscopy was used to visualize and quantify the growth of GSH crystals during and after microwave heating. Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy data showed that GSH crystals had identical crystal structure to those grown at room temperature and microwave heating did not alter the chemical structure of GSH molecules during microwave heating, respectively. Using the MA-MAEC technique, the iCrystal system yielded high quality GSH crystals in a rapid manner.
