Chains Stiffness Effect on the Vertical Segregation of Mixed Polymer Brushes in Selective Solvent.

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
The microstructure of the binary polymer brushes in the selective solvent was studied using the numerical lattice self-consisting field approach. The case was considered when the selectivity to the solvent (the Flory-Huggins parameter χ) was varied only for one type of chains (responsive chains) while the others (non-responsive chains) remained hydrophilic (χ = 0). In such a brush, with an increase in the hydrophobicity of the responsive chains, a transition occurs between two two-layer microstructures. In the initial state the ends of the longer responsive chains are located near the external surface of the brush and those of non-responsive chains are inside the brush. When the hydrophobicity of the responsive chains becomes high enough then the reversed two-layer microstructure is formed, when the ends of non-responsive chains are located near the brush surface and the responsive chains collapse on the brush bottom. In contrast to previous works, the stiffness parameter (Kuhn segment length
