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

Turbidimetry is an experimental technique often used to study the structure of filamentous networks. To extract structural properties such as filament diameter from turbidimetric data, simplifications to light scattering theory must be employed. In this work, we evaluate the applicability of three commonly utilized turbidimetric analysis approaches, each using slightly different simplifications. We make a specific application towards analyzing fibrin fibers, which form the structural scaffold of blood clots, but the results are generalizable. Numerical simulations were utilized to assess the applicability of each approach across a range of fiber lengths and diameters. Simulation results indicated that all three turbidimetric approaches commonly underestimate fiber diameter, and that the “Carr-Hermans” approach, utilizing wavelengths in the range of 500−800 nm, provided <10% error for the largest number of diameter/length combinations. These theoretical results were confirmed, under select conditions, via the comparison of fiber diameters extracted from experimental turbidimetric data, with diameters obtained using super-resolution microscopy.
