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 translocated polymers through pores of different shapes and interaction patterns in three dimensions by Langevin molecular dynamics. There were four simple cylindrical pores of the same length but with different diameters. The results showed that even though decreasing the pore diameter would always decrease the translocation velocity, it was strongly dependent on the shape of the increased pore diameter. Although increasing the pore diameter made the translocation faster in simple cylindrical pores, it was complicated in different pore shapes, e.g. increasing the diameter in the middle decreased the translocation velocity. Investigating polymer shapes through the translocation process and comparing the shapes by the cumulative waiting time for different pore structures reveals the non-equilibrium properties of translocation. Moreover, polymer shape parameters such as gyration radius, polymer center of mass, and average aspect ratio help us to distinguish different pore shapes and/or different polymers.
