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

Currently, more than 100 isotherm models coexist for the six IUPAC isotherm types. However, no mechanistic insights can be reached when several models, each claiming a different mechanism, fit an experimental isotherm equally well. More frequently, popular isotherm models [such as the site-specific models like Langmuir, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), and Guggenheim-Anderson-de Boer (GAB)] have been applied to real and complex systems that break their basic assumptions. To overcome such conundrums, we establish a universal approach to model all isotherm types, attributing the difference to the sorbate-sorbate and sorbate-surface interactions in a systematic manner. We have generalized the language of the traditional sorption models (such as the monolayer capacity and the BET constant) to the model-free concepts of partitioning and association coefficients that can be applied across the isotherm types. Through such a generalization, the apparent contradictions, caused by applying the site-specific models alongside with cross-sectional area of sorbates for the purpose of surface area determination, can be eliminated straightforwardly.
