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 free swelling of knots and the directional motion of knots under tension were studied in vertically vibrated bead chains. A metastable state of swelling was observed in the strongly vibrated two-end-free bead chains, as predicted by Grosberg and Rabin (Phys. Rev. Lett. 99, 217801 (2007)). Knots in the two-end-fixed chains were found to move directionally. The direction of motion could be changed by flipping the knot over. The velocity of motion depended on the tension in the bead chain. The effects of tension on the motion of knots were studied in one-end-fixed chains. The directional reptation might have been influenced by the random motion of the leading arc of the knot. The knots might move in a forced-reptation manner under the interaction with a simulated translocase.
