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

This review focuses on the effects that confinement of molecular and heterogeneous catalysts with well-defined structure has on the selectivity and activity of these systems. A general introduction about catalysis and how the working principles of enzymes can be used as a source of inspiration for the preparation of catalysts with enhanced performance is provided. Subsequently, relevant studies demonstrate the importance of second coordination sphere effects in a broad sense (in homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis). Firstly, we discuss examples involving zeolites, MOFs and COFs as heterogeneous catalysts with well-defined structures where confinement influences catalytic performance. Then, specific cases of homogeneous catalysts where non-covalent interactions determine the selectivity and activity are treated in detail. This includes examples based on cyclodextrins, calix[n]arenes, cucurbit[n]urils, and self-assembled container molecules. Throughout the review, the impact of confined spaces is emphasized and put into context, in order to get a better understanding of the effects of confinement on catalyst performance. In addition, this analysis intends to showcase the similarities between homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts, which may aid the development of novel strategies.
