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

Nitroxide-mediated "living" radical polymerization with bisalkoxyamine 2,5,5,8,8,11-hexamethyl-4,9-(1-phenylethoxy)-3,10-diphenyl-4,9-diazadodecane produces polymers of controlled length and narrow molecular weight distributions at temperatures ranging from 70 to 110 °C. Polymerizations were run successfully with styrene (St), tert-butyl acrylate (tBA), and dimethylacrylamide (DMA). EPR measurements of the homolysis of this bisalkoxyamine and monoalkoxyamine 2,2,5-trimethyl-3-(1-phenylethoxy)-4-phenyl-3-azahexane at temperatures ranging from 85 to 105 °C give rate constants for the bisalkoxyamine that are approximately twice as large as those for the monoalkoxyamine. (1)H NMR investigations of the decomposition of both alkoxyamines at 125 °C show enhanced decomposition for the bisalkoxyamine. EPR decomposition studies at 120 °C on the corresponding bis- and mononitroxides 2,5,5,8,8,11-hexamethyl-3,10-diphenyl-4,9-diazadodecane-4,9-bisnitroxide and 2,2,5-trimethyl-4-phenyl-3-azahexane-3-nitroxide also show accelerated bisnitroxide decomposition. Low-temperature EPR studies of the bisnitroxide reveal an unusually strong radical-radical interaction, suggesting enhanced stabilization of the intermediate mononitroxide formed during polymerization by interaction with the proximal N-alkoxyamine. The transient mononitroxide is postulated to be stabilized by delocalization of the unpaired electron density over five atoms.
