Expanding the ROMP Toolbox: Synthesis of Air-Stable Benzonorbornadiene Polymers by Aryne Chemistry.
Article in Macromolecules, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
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
Benzonorbornadiene polymers synthesized by ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) are typically prone to oxidation at the benzylic/allylic position under ambient conditions. Accordingly, the use of benzonorbornadiene polymers in practical applications has remained limited. In this manuscript, we report the synthesis of poly(benzonorbornadiene) polymers using a strategic blend of benzyne chemistry and ROMP. Through a comparative study, we show that substitution at the benzylic/allylic position prevents oxidative deformation, yet does not inhibit polymerization by common ruthenium catalysts with good control over molecular weight dispersity. We expect the benzyne/ROMP reaction sequence will allow easy access to air-stable benzonorbornadiene polymers for various applications.
