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

Understanding the diffusive behavior of particles and large molecules in channels is of fundamental importance in biological and synthetic systems, such as channel proteins, nanopores, and nanofluidics. Although theoretical and numerical modelings have suggested some solutions, these models have not been fully supported with direct experimental measurements. Here, we demonstrate that experimental diffusion coefficients of particles in finite open-ended channels are always higher than the prediction based on the conventional theoretical model of infinitely long channels. By combining microfluidic experiments, numerical simulations, and analytical modeling, we show that diffusion coefficients are dependent not only on the radius ratio but also on the channel length, the boundary conditions of the neighboring reservoirs, and the compressibility of the medium.
