Predicting the Effect of Chemical Factors on the pH of Crystallization Trials.
Article in iScience, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
In macromolecular crystallization, success is often dependent on the pH of the experiment. However, little is known about the pH of reagents used, and it is generally assumed that the pH of the experiment will closely match that of any buffering chemical in the solution. We use a large dataset of experimentally measured solution pH values to show that this assumption can be very wrong and generate a model that can be used to successfully predict the overall solution pH of a crystallization experiment. Furthermore, we investigate the time dependence of the pH of some polyethylene glycol polymers widely used in protein crystallization under different storage conditions.
