Fracture of model end-linked networks.
Article in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Advances in polymer chemistry over the last decade have enabled the synthesis of molecularly precise polymer networks that exhibit homogeneous structure. These precise polymer gels create the opportunity to establish true multiscale, molecular to macroscopic, relationships that define their elastic and failure properties. In this work, a theory of network fracture that accounts for loop defects is developed by drawing on recent advances in network elasticity. This loop-modified Lake-Thomas theory is tested against both molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and experimental fracture measurements on model gels, and good agreement between theory, which does not use an enhancement factor, and measurement is observed. Insight into the local and global contributions to energy dissipated during network failure and their relation to the bond dissociation energy is also provided. These findings enable a priori estimates of fracture energy in swollen gels where chain scission becomes an important failure mechanism.
