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

contextGraphene oxide(GO) has been widely used in asphalt modification due to its excellent properties. To reveal the interaction effect between GO and asphalt materials, the microscopic behavior and molecular structure changes of asphalt and GO/asphalt were investigated by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Mean square displacement (MSD) results showed that GO significantly inhibited the diffusion of molecules of asphalt components. Radial distribution function (RDF) results that GO destroys the original sol-type structure of asphalt. Simultaneously, GO adsorbed resins at low-temperature, adsorbed asphaltenes at high-temperature, and dispersed as a dispersed phase in the light components. The concentration of the dispersed phase in the asphalt colloidal structure was increased and the mutual attraction was enhanced. This improves the deformation resistance at high temperature, but weakens the ductility at low temperatures.

methodsTo investigate the mechanism of action of GO-modified asphalt, the asphalt model and the GO/asphalt composite system model were constructed using the Amorphous Cell module in Materials Studio 2020 software. Subsequently, molecular dynamics simulations of the GO/asphalt composite system were performed using the Forcite module, while the interactions between atoms and molecules were described using the COMPASS II force field.
