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

Discrete statistical systems offer a significant advantage over systems defined in the continuum, since they allow for an easier enumeration of microstates. We introduce a lattice-gas model on the vertices of a polyhedron called a pentakis icosidodecahedron and draw its exact phase diagram by the Wang-Landau method. Using different values for the couplings between first-, second-, and third-neighbor particles, we explore various interaction patterns for the model, ranging from softly repulsive to Lennard-Jones-like and SALR. We highlight the existence of sharp transitions between distinct low-temperature "phases", featuring, among others, regular polyhedral, cluster-crystal-like, and worm-like structures. When attempting to reproduce the equation of state of the model by Monte Carlo simulation, we find hysteretic behavior near zero temperature, implying a bottleneck issue for Metropolis dynamics near phase-crossover points.
