Using the Herschel-Bulkley Consistency Index to Characterise Complex Biopolymer Systems-The Effect of Screening.
Article in Polymers, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
The use of the consistency index, as determined from fitting rheological data to the Herschel-Bulkley model, is described such that it may yield systematic trends that allow a very convenient description of the dissipative flow properties of linear and branched (bio)polymers in general, both in molecular and weakly associated supramolecular solutions. The effects of charge-mediated interactions by the systematic variation of the ionic strength and hydrogen bonding by a systematic variation in pH, using levels that are frequently encountered in systems used in practice, is investigated. These effects are then captured using the associated changes in the intrinsic viscosity to highlight the above-mentioned trends, while it also acts as an internal standard to describe the data in a concise form. The trends are successfully captured up to 100 times the polymer coil overlap and 100,000 times the solvent viscosity (or consistency index). These results therefore enable the rapid characterization of biopolymer systems of which the morphology remains unknown and may continue to remain unknown due to the wide-ranging monomer diversity and a lack of regularity in the structure, while the macromolecular coil size may be determined readily.
