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

We present a computational study on the microscopic origin of molecular philicity, which determines the miscibility and diffusivity of binary liquids. Our simulations reveal how the miscibility of an alkane-perfluoroalkane system responds to variations in the philicity of the two components, which is controlled by tuning the Lennard-Jones force-field parameters. One particular challenge is measuring the instantaneous degree of mixing of the two components. Here, we use two criteria: one based on the pair correlation function and one based on the instantaneous configurational entropy of mixing. We observe a characteristic linear dependence of the critical temperature of mixing on the interaction energy values. The critical temperature is considerably more sensitive to changes in the aliphatic alkanes than in the fluorinated ones. In contrast, the size parameter has a negligible influence on either molecule.
