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 origin of the viscoelastic behavior that many nanoparticles display during diffusive motion is unknown. Such dynamics are difficult to record without sophisticated methods that combine a suitable observation window of motion in time with high image resolution. Herein, we study and describe the diffusion of two types of particles in the form of emulsion droplets in situ via liquid phase TEM. For both, the observed particle motion in solution is anomalous (non-Brownian) and is either sub- or super-diffusive. Fractional Brownian motion (fBm) and random walks on fractals (RWF) are the two potential mechanisms. It can be challenging to differentiate these since they may have the same position or velocity autocorrelation function, but they diverge in the average number of sites visited, which is connected to the fractal dimension of the walk. We conclude that droplet-surface interactions and electron beam fluence create a fractal energy landscape yielding peculiar dynamics.
