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

Water guides biomolecules to their native conformations in a high-dimensional conformational space. To explore a similar role in synthetic self-assembly, a wedge-shaped, shape-shifting dendron (SD) was studied. Cooling from the isotropic melt trapped SD in a metastable Frank-Kasper σ phase with symmetry breaking due to high conformational freedom. In situ SAXS, microbeam SAXS, and ATR-FTIR confirmed that water vapor disrupts supramolecular micelles in the σ phase and unfolds some cone-shaped SD molecules, facilitating improved chain-chain packing and inducing the low-symmetry σ phase to transition into a more symmetric hydrated lamellar (
