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

A method to modify colloidal particles with silica rods in a water/n-pentanol system is reported here. Because of the interfacial tension between aqueous and n-pentanol phase, water which surrounds the colloidal particles de-wets into droplets during the deposition process of silica. As a result of unidirectional deposition, silica rods grow perpendicularly on the surface of the colloidal particles at the site of the smallest curvature where the water droplet has been de-wetted. By controlling the hydrolysis conditions, particles with certain number of branches or rambutan-like particles can be obtained. This approach opens a path towards the higher levels of colloidal complexity.
