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

The behavior of a single homopolymer chain in an explicit solvent in a wide range of poor and good solvents was investigated. For this purpose, a two-dimensional coarse-grained model based on a triangular lattice was used. Simulations were carried out by the Monte Carlo method using the Cooperative Motion Algorithm to study high-density systems. The scaling relations of the parameters describing the phase transitions of the chain were determined. For systems with polymer-solvent attraction, significant changes in chain size and shape were observed. This was associated with the mechanism of chain penetration by solvents and the formation of structures via a mechanism called 'Bridging-Induced Attraction', similar to those discovered for three dimensions.
