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 report on the synthesis of monodisperse, flower-like, liquid crystalline (LC) polymer particles by precipitation polymerization of a LC mixture consisting of benzoic acid-functionalized acrylates and disulfide-functionalized diacrylates. Introduction of a minor amount of redox-responsive disulfide-functionalized diacrylates (≤10 wt %) induced the formation of flower-like shapes. The shape of the particles can be tuned from flower- to disk-like to spherical by elevating the polymerization temperature. The solvent environment also has a pronounced effect on the particle size. Time-resolved TEM reveals that the final particle morphology was formed in the early stages of the polymerization and that subsequent polymerization resulted in continued particle growth without affecting the morphology. Finally, the degradation of the particles under reducing conditions was much faster for flower-like particles than for spherical particles, likely a result of their higher surface-to-volume ratio.
