Predicting Critical Micelle Concentrations from Short Time Scale Simulations.
Article in The journal of physical chemistry. B, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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 determination of surfactant critical micelle concentrations (CMCs) using molecular simulations is by now a well-established procedure. The approach typically utilizes the equilibrium free surfactant concentration (i.e., those surfactants not in micelles). However, equilibration can be a slow process, particularly for surfactants with low CMC values, requiring large amounts of compute resource even when coarse grained approaches are adopted. We here explore the possibility of using incompletely equilibrated short time scale runs to predict surfactant CMCs using dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulations. We ground the methodology in the Aniansson-Wall stepwise association model of micelle kinetics, and apply it to a selection of uncharged (nonionic and zwitterionic) and charged (ionic) surfactants. We find the approach to be useful for predicting the CMC of both charged and uncharged surfactants.
