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

Aqueous two-phase systems (ATPSs) have numerous applications in separation science, and more recently, in bioassays enabled by the solution micropatterning of cells. The most frequently used ATPS in these applications is the polyethylene glycol (PEG)-dextran (Dex) system, as the polymers that form this ATPS have been extensively characterized in terms of their physicochemical properties. However, in addition to this well-known system, there exist many other ATPSs with properties that may be exploited to improve upon the PEG-dextran system for specific applications. One of these underexplored systems is the ATPS formed from PEG/polyethylene oxide (PEO) and albumin. In this article, we characterize the phase separation of PEG (35 kDa) and polyethylene oxide (PEO) (200, 900, and 4,000 kDa) with bovine serum albumin (BSA). We describe the microscopic emulsion behavior of these systems in the presence of NaCl and compounds (NaHCO
