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 study the properties of acetic acid and propionic acid solutions at the surface of monocrystalline ice with surface-specific vibrational sum-frequency generation (VSFG) and heterodyne-detected vibrational sum-frequency generation spectroscopy (HD-VSFG). When we decrease the temperature toward the eutectic point of the acid solutions, we observe the formation of a freeze concentrated solution (FCS) of the carboxylic acids that is brought about by a freeze-induced phase separation (FIPS). The freeze concentrated solution freezes on top of the ice surface as we cool the system below the eutectic point. We find that for freeze concentrated acetic acid solutions the freezing causes a strong decrease of the VSFG signal, while for propionic acid an increase and a blue-shift are observed. This different behavior points at a distinct difference in molecular-scale behavior when cooling below the eutectic point. We find that cooling of the propionic acid solution below the eutectic point leads to the formation of hydrogen-bonded dimers with an opposite alignment of the carboxylic acid O-H groups.
