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

This work uses a recently proposed methodology to calculate the free energies of calcite and aragonite interfaces with water. This method properly includes the entropic contributions, ignored or approximated in previous work. By including this entropic component, we show that the aqueous calcite {101̅4} surface has a lower free energy than any of the aragonite surfaces. This resolves the discrepancies in previous simulation work that suggested that an aragonite nucleus would be more stable than a calcite one. Our analysis of the water structure highlights the generally greater entropic contribution to the interfacial free energy at the aragonite/water interface than at the calcite one. These methods are applied to a range of temperatures to examine how the solution temperature alters the interfacial energies. Our results are then discussed in the context of calcium carbonate nucleation and polymorph-morphology selection under different environmental conditions.
