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.
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 selectivity of a single nanopore in a uniformly charged solid membrane to a charged analyte ion is studied using numerical simulation. A continuum model is used where the ions are regarded as point particles and characterized by a continuously varying number density. The problem is described by the coupled equations for the electrostatic potential, ion-transport, and hydrodynamic flow, which are solved under appropriate boundary conditions using a finite volume method. The nanopore geometry is considered conical, the cylindrical pore being a special case where the cone angle is zero. The selectivity is characterized by a dimensionless parameter: the pore selectivity index. Results are presented showing how the pore selectivity index varies with the membrane surface charge and other parameters of the problem. The role of hydrodynamic flow on transport properties is examined and found to be consistent with theoretical results on electroosmotic flow through nanopores.
