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 scaling behavior of linear chains with reversible bonds and, in particular, its dependence on the concentration are fundamental problems of polymer physics that are not fully understood. By means of small-angle neutron scattering we investigate the conformations of reversibly bonding polymers from high dilution (where they form unimacromolecular nano-objects, usually known as single-chain nanoparticles) to crowded solutions and bulk state far above the overlap concentration (where they are expected to form a dynamic polymer network). Unlike the cases of simple linear chains with no bonds and of chains with strictly intramolecular irreversible bonds, no shrinkage is found, and the size and scaling exponent of the reversibly bonding polymers are essentially unperturbed by crowding. This is a relevant result that confirms the negligibility of many-body effects beyond the overlap concentration in crowded systems of reversibly bonding polymers and the validity of ultrasoft effective interactions for predicting their structural and phase behavior.
