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

Inhibiting the penetration of water molecules and aggressive ions is of considerable significance in improving the durability of reinforced concrete structures. In this work, molecular dynamics(MD) is employed to design a high-efficiency organic fluid transport inhibitor. MD results indicate that there is mutual complementation between the hydrophilic and hydrophobic functional groups in the chemical structure of this polymer. One end with the carboxyl groups can stably adsorb on the surface of the cementitious matrix due to the strong attraction from calcium ions. Simultaneously, the rest of the hydrophobic part of the polymer can stand up to maximize the repelling effect on the penetration of fluids. Furthermore, for high cost-effectiveness performance, the minimum number and the optimum position of the carboxyl groups of one polymer inhibitor have been determined. As the molecular structure contains two hydrophilic groups, only if located at the same end, the polymer chain can display the most preferable adsorption morphology.
