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
In the present manuscript, we highlight the contradictions in the thermally activated processes theory which treats a system's activated state as a state of the phonon subsystem. We offer an alternative model, in which the activated state is treated as an electron subsystem state. The mechanism of the activated state formation is as follows: thermal fluctuations excite electrons of some particles within the activation zone. This excitation is then shared with other particles in the ground state. This creates a locally-equilibrium activated state. We estimate the lifetime of such a state and derive expressions for the activation energy and entropy, necessary to calculate the number of excited particles in the activation zone and the energy of the particle's excitation. We validate the model experimentally, by examining the behavior of nanocrystals of undecylenic acid in pores of silica gels using dielectric spectroscopy and the analysis of the complex dielectric permittivity behavior at different temperatures and with different frequencies of the external field. The estimated number of excited particles in the activation zone of the nanocrystals and the particle excitation energy for the dielectric relaxation process observed in undecylenic acid confirm that the results of the experiment align well with the proposed model.
