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

Few techniques can reliably measure the dynamics of colloidal suspensions or other soft materials over a wide range of turbidities. Here we systematically investigate the capability of Differential Dynamic Microscopy (DDM) to characterise particle dynamics in turbid colloidal suspensions based on brightfield optical microscopy. We measure the Intermediate Scattering Function (ISF) of polystyrene microspheres suspended in water over a range of concentrations, turbidities, and up to 4 orders of magnitude in time-scales. These DDM results are compared to data obtained from both Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) and Two-colour Dynamic Light Scattering (TCDLS). The latter allows for suppression of multiple scattering for moderately turbid suspensions. We find that DDM can obtain reliable diffusion coefficients at up to 10 and 1000 times higher particle concentrations than TCDLS and standard DLS, respectively. Additionally, we investigate the roles of the four length-scales relevant when imaging a suspension: the sample thickness
