Tuning the balance between dispersion and entropy to design temperature-responsive flexible metal-organic frameworks.
Article in Nature communications, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 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
Temperature-responsive flexibility in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) appeals to the imagination. The ability to transform upon thermal stimuli while retaining a given crystalline topology is desired for specialized sensors and actuators. However, rational design of such shape-memory nanopores is hampered by a lack of knowledge on the nanoscopic interactions governing the observed behavior. Using the prototypical MIL-53(Al) as a starting point, we show that the phase transformation between a narrow-pore and large-pore phase is determined by a delicate balance between dispersion stabilization at low temperatures and entropic effects at higher ones. We present an accurate theoretical framework that allows designing breathing thermo-responsive MOFs, based on many-electron data for the dispersion interactions and density-functional theory entropy contributions. Within an isoreticular series of materials, MIL-53(Al), MIL-53(Al)-FA, DUT-4, DUT-5 and MIL-53(Ga), only MIL-53(Al) and MIL-53(Ga) are proven to switch phases within a realistic temperature range.
