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
After having demonstrated their potential in biomedical applications, thermo-responsive block copolymers that are able to self-assemble into nano-objects in response to temperature modifications are becoming more and more appealing in other sectors, such as the oil and gas and lubricant fields. Reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization-induced self-assembly has been demonstrated as a valuable strategy for producing nano-objects from modular block copolymers in non-polar media, required for the mentioned applications. Although the influence of the nature and size of the thermo-responsive block of these copolymers on the properties of the nano-objects is extensively studied in the literature, the role of the solvophilic block is often neglected. In this work, we elucidate the role of the main microstructural parameters, including those of the solvophilic portion, of block copolymers produced by RAFT polymerization in the hydrocarbon blend decane/toluene 50:50 v/v on the thermo-responsive behavior and colloidal properties of the resulting nano-objects. Two long-aliphatic chain monomers were employed for the synthesis of four macromolecular chain transfer agents (macroCTAs), with increasing solvophilicity according to the number of units (
