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

Surprisingly, the local structure of electrolyte solutions in electric double layers is primarily determined by the solvent. This is initially unexpected as the solvent is usually a neutral species and not a subject to dominant Coulombic interactions. Part of the solvent dominance in determining the local structure is simply due to the much larger number of solvent molecules in a typical electrolyte solution.The dominant local packing of solvent then creates a space left for the charged species. Our classical density functional theory work demonstrates that the solvent structural effect strongly couples to the surface chemistry, which governs the charge and potential. In this article we address some outstanding questions relating double layer modeling. Firstly, we address the role of ion-ion correlations that go beyond mean field correlations. Secondly we consider the effects of a density dependent dielectric constant which is crucial in the description of a electrolyte-vapor interface.
