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

To study conformational transition occuring upon inferior solvent strength in a brush formed by linear or dendritically branched macromolecules tethered to the inner surface of cylindrical or planar (slit-like) pore, a self-consistent field analytical approach is employed. Variations in the internal brush structure as a function of variable solvent strength and pore radius, and the onset of formation of a hollow channel in the pore center are analysed. The predictions of analytical theory are supported and complemented by numerical modelling by a self-consistent field Scheutjens-Fleer method. Scaling arguments are used to study microphase segregation under poor solvent conditions leading to formation of a laterally and longitudinally patterned structure in planar and cylindrical pores, respectively, and the effects of confinement on "octopus-like" clusters in the pores of different geometries.
