Depletion Interactions between Nanoparticles: The Effect of the Polymeric Depletant Stiffness.
Article in Polymers, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
A Density Functional Theory is employed to study depletion interactions between nanoparticles mediated by semiflexible polymers. The four key parameters are the chain contour length and the persistence length of the polymeric depletant, its radius of gyration, and the nanoparticle radius. In the Density Functional Theory calculation of the depletion interaction between the nanoparticles mediated by semiflexible polymers, the polymer gyration radius is kept constant by varying the contour length and the persistence length simultaneously. This makes it possible to study the effect of the chain stiffness on the depletion potential of mean force between the nanoparticles for a given depletant size. It is found that the depletion attraction becomes stronger for stiffer polymer chains and larger colloids. The depletion potential of mean force is used as input to compute the phase diagram for an effective one-component colloidal system.
