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

Single crystal growth for the use of X-ray diffraction can be a major stumbling path to getting good X-ray diffraction data and results for this highly used and, in some cases, required analytical technique. The growing of good single crystals is often learned by experience and has been considered an art form for many years. Presented in this paper are some of the fundamental aspects that can help a chemist generate good single crystals to take to the crystallographer or the instrument.
