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

Guanine crystals with unique optical properties in organisms have been extensively studied and the biomineralization principles of guanine are being established. This review summarizes the fundamental physicochemical properties (solubility, tautomers, bands, and refractivity), polymorphs, morphology of biological and synthetic forms, and the reported biomineralization principles of guanine (selective recrystallization of amorphous precursor, preassembled scaffolds, additives, twinning, hypoxanthine doping, fluorescence, and assembly). The biomineralization principles of guanine will be helpful for the synthesis of guanine crystals with excellent properties and the design of functional organic materials for drugs, dyes, organic semiconductors, etc.
