Molecular Mass Dependence of Interfacial Tension in Complex Coacervation.
Article in Physical review letters, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
The interfacial tension of coacervates, the liquidlike phase composed of oppositely charged polymers that coexists at equilibrium with a supernatant, forms the basis for multiple technologies. Here we present a comprehensive set of experiments and molecular dynamics simulations to probe the effect of molecular mass on interfacial tension γ, far from the critical point, and derive γ=γ_{∞}(1-h/N), where N is the degree of polymerization, γ_{∞} is the infinite molecular mass limit, and h is a constant that physically corresponds to the number of monomers of one chain within the coacervate correlation volume.
