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

Many important thermodynamic calculations for aqueous systems are profoundly limited because ion specific interactions have not been understood. Here an alternative modeling paradigm with compelling advantages is presented based on fundamental insights regarding ion-ion interactions at higher electrolyte concentrations. We also show how an intense ongoing controversy regarding single ion activity coefficients (SIACs) can be resolved and how SIACs can be quantified in full thermodynamic compliance using an overlooked convention. SIAC values can in fact be determined unequivocally and compatibly from two independent types of measurement at trace concentrations. These developments promise important advances, especially in defining pH and modeling multicomponent aqueous systems.
