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

We employ a three-dimensional molecular dynamics to simulate a driven polymer translocation through a nanopore by applying an external force, for four pore diameters and two external forces. To see the polymer and pore interaction effects on translocation time, we studied nine interaction energies. Moreover, to better understand the simulation results, we investigate polymer center of mass, shape factor and the monomer spatial distribution through the translocation process. Our results reveal that increasing the polymer-pore interaction energy is accompanied by an increase in the translocation time and decrease in the process rate. Furthermore, for pores with greater diameter, the translocation becomes faster. The shape analysis of the polymer indicates that the polymer shape is highly sensitive to the interaction energy. In great interactions, the monomers come close to the pore from both sides. As a result, the translocation becomes fast at first and slows down at last. Overall, it can be concluded that the external force does not play a major role in the shape and distribution of translocated monomers. However, the interaction energy between monomer and nanopore has a major effect especially on the distribution of translocated monomers on the trans side.
