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

Surfactants based on dynamic covalent bonds have attracted great interest in the past few decades due to the coexistence of covalent and non-covalent bonds. As a novel structure of surfactants, Gemini surfactants exhibit excellent surface activity and aggregation behavior. This work synthesized dicot quaternary ammonium salts containing aldehyde precursors, which can self-bind with primary amines of different chain lengths in water to undergo Schiff base reactions and generate pH responsive dynamic surfactants. Different linking groups and hydrophobic chain lengths were used to synthesize Gemini surfactants. The micelle aggregation behavior and surface activity of Gemini surfactants were systematically studied through surface tension, fluorescent probes, and conductivity. Particularly, the Gemini surfactant with 6 carbon atoms between amphiphilic groups and 10 carbon atoms in hydrophobic tail chain change the surface tension of water to 28.88mN·m
