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

Organocatalytic polymerization reactions have a number of advantages over their metal-catalyzed counterparts, including environmental friendliness, ease of catalyst synthesis and storage, and alternative reaction pathways. Here we introduce an organocatalytic polymerization method called benzylic chloromethyl-coupling polymerization (BCCP). BCCP is catalyzed by organocatalysts not previously employed in polymerization processes (sulfenate anions), which are generated from bench-stable sulfoxide precatalysts. The sulfenate anion promotes an umpolung polycondensation via step-growth propagation cycles involving sulfoxide intermediates. BCCP represents an example of an organocatalyst that links monomers by C=C double bond formation and offers transition metal-free access to a wide variety of polymers that cannot be synthesized by traditional precursor routes.
