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

Electrostatic interactions play a significant role in regulating biological systems and have received increasing attention due to their usefulness in designing advanced stimulus-responsive materials. Polypeptoids are highly tunable N-substituted peptidomimetic polymers that lack backbone hydrogen bonding and chirality. Therefore, polypeptoids are suitable systems to study the effect of noncovalent interactions of substituents without complications of backbone intramolecular and intermolecular hydrogen bonding. In this study, all-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed on micelles formed by a series of sequence-defined ionic polypeptoid block copolymers consisting of a hydrophobic segment and a hydrophilic segment in an aqueous solution. By combining the results from MD simulations and experimental small-angle neutron scattering data, further insights were gained into the internal structure of the formed polypeptoid micelles, which is not always directly accessible from experiments. In addition, information was gained into the physics of the noncovalent interactions responsible for the self-assembly of weakly charged polypeptoids in an aqueous solution. While the aggregation number is governed by electrostatic repulsion of the negatively charged carboxylate (COO
