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 ring-sheared drop is a module for the International Space Station to study sheared fluid interfaces and their influence on amyloid fibril formation. A 2.54-cm diameter drop is constrained by a stationary sharp-edged ring at some latitude and sheared by the rotation of another ring in the other hemisphere. Shearing motion is conveyed primarily by the action of surface shear viscosity. Here, we simulate microgravity in the laboratory using a density-matched liquid surrounding the drop. Upon shearing, the drop's deformation away from spherical is found to be a result of viscous and inertial forces balanced against the capillary force. We also present evidence that the deformation increases with increasing surface shear viscosity.
