Measure of overlap between two arbitrary ellipses on a sphere.

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
Various packing problems and simulations of hard and soft interacting particles, such as microscopic models of nematic liquid crystals, reduce to calculations of intersections and pair interactions between ellipsoids. When constrained to a spherical surface, curvature and compactness lead to non-trivial behaviour that finds uses in physics, computer science and geometry. A well-known idealized isotropic example is the Tammes problem of finding optimal non-intersecting packings of equal hard disks. The anisotropic case of elliptic particles remains, on the other hand, comparatively unexplored. We develop an algorithm to detect collisions between ellipses constrained to the two-dimensional surface of a sphere based on a solution of an eigenvalue problem. We investigate and discuss topologically distinct ways two ellipses may touch or intersect on a sphere, and define a contact function that can be used for construction of short- and long-range pair potentials.
