Disappearance of the polyelectrolyte peak in salt-free solutions.
Article in Physical review. E, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
We investigate the nature of the polyelectrolyte peak in salt-free solutions by molecular dynamics simulations using a minimal model of polyelectrolyte solutions that includes an explicit solvent and counterions and small angle scattering experiments. It is found that the polyelectrolyte peak progressively disappears as the strength of solvation for the charged species is increased and the scattering profiles start to resemble those of neutral polymer solutions. The disappearance of the polyelectrolyte peak coincides with the emergence of attractive interchain interactions over a wide range of length scales. These findings provide insights into the microscopic origin of the polyelectrolyte peak.
