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 studied the properties of rigid dendrimers with different branching angles by means of Monte Carlo simulations on a coarse-grained level. It was found that the terminal groups of dendrimers with both rigid and flexible spacers could locate near the center of the molecule. In flexible dendrimers, the wide distribution is attributed to the back folding of flexible spacers, while in rigid dendrimers, it is caused by the branching angle effect that a branch will grow laterally due to the restriction of a non-zero branching angle. It has been established that the branching angle is a key parameter for rigid dendrimers, which can be applied to tune the properties of rigid dendrimers: decreasing branching angle is helpful to obtain dendrimers with a larger size, lower density, and more terminal groups locating at periphery.
