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 performed molecular dynamic simulations of a model active nematic confined to a two-dimensional nanoscopic circular region under both tangential and radial anchoring boundary conditions. This active material is assumed to be composed of elongated chiral particles which interact with each other by means of isotropic Lennard-Jones and anisotropic Maier-Saupe-like potentials. These particles have the lateral appendage emitting a jet of some substance generated by a certain internal chemical reaction. As a result, such elongated particles are exposed to both the reactive self-propelled force and the torque that provide an additional translational movement of particles and a self-rotation with respect to their geometric centers. It has been found that the chiral active nematics under consideration form time-dependent vortex-like structures with two +1/2 topological defects which are similar to experimentally observed structures in active materials.
