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

In the present paper, a simple method for analyzing the self-aggregation of dyes in a solution by a UV-visible absorption measurements is proposed. The concept of excess absorbance is introduced to determine an equation whose coefficients determine the parameters of the aggregation equilibrium. The computational peculiarities of the model are first discussed theoretically and then applied to sodium fluorescein in polar protic and aprotic solvents, as well as in aqueous solutions of methylene blue, which is a cationic dye. Although the experimental responses are very different, the model appears to work equally well in both cases. The model reveals that the trimer is the most likely configuration in both solvents. Furthermore, aggregation is strongly favored for the protic solvent. Interestingly, the model establishes that in aqueous solutions of methylene blue, the tetramer is the predominant form, which has long been assumed and recently demonstrated with sophisticated computational techniques.
