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 molecular association between 2-isobutoxyethanol (IBE) and water in mixed polar solvents was investigated by using all-atom molecular dynamics simulations over a wide composition range. Structural analyses, including radial distribution functions (RDFs) and potentials of mean force (PMFs), reveal that hydrogen bonds between IBE-water are significantly stronger than those in IBE-IBE and water-water pairs, as evidenced by higher RDF peak intensities, deeper contact minima, and slower hydrogen-bond autocorrelation decay. These robust interactions promote the formation of large, stable heterogeneous clusters connected via hydrogen-bond networks. Dynamical properties show a pronounced slowdown of IBE self-diffusion with decreasing the mole fraction of 2-isobutoxyethanol (
