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

Introduction of high valence counterions into polyelectrolyte gels results in a reversible volume phase transition. In the present work new experimental results are reported for the volume transition induced by calcium/sodium exchange in sodium polyacrylate gels. The effects of cross-link density, concentration of ionized groups on the network chains, composition of the equilibrium salt solution containing both mono- and divalent cations, and temperature on the swelling degree of these gels are systematically investigated. It is demonstrated that the normalized swelling data fall on a master curve, indicating that the ion-exchange-induced volume transition exhibits universal behavior in sodium polyacrylate gels. Model calculations made on the basis of the classical Flory-Rehner theory are in reasonable agreement with the measured dependencies.
