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

Gaining insight into osmotic pressure and its biological implications is pivotal for revealing mechanisms underlying numerous fundamental biological processes across scales and will contribute to the biomedical and pharmaceutical fields. This review aims to provide an overview of the current understanding, focusing on two central issues: (i) how to determine theoretically osmotic pressure and (ii) how osmotic pressure affects important biological activities. More specifically, we discuss the representative theoretical equations and models for different solutions, emphasizing their applicability and limitations, and summarize the effect of osmotic pressure on lipid phase separation, cell division, and differentiation, focusing on the mechanisms underlying the osmotic pressure dependence of these biological processes. We highlight that new theory of osmotic pressure applicable for all experimentally feasible temperatures and solute concentrations needs to be developed, and further studies regarding the role of osmotic pressure in other biological processes should also be carried out to improve our comprehensive and in-depth understanding. Moreover, we point out the importance and challenges of developing techniques for the in vivo measurement of osmotic pressure.
