Molecule-Induced Radical Formation (MIRF) Reactions-A Reappraisal.
Review in Angewandte Chemie (International ed. in English), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Radical chain reactions are commonly initiated through the thermal or photochemical activation of purpose-built initiators, through photochemical activation of substrates, or through well-designed redox processes. Where radicals come from in the absence of these initiation strategies is much less obvious and are often assumed to derive from unknown impurities. In this situation, molecule-induced radical formation (MIRF) reactions should be considered as well-defined alternative initiation modes. In the most general definition of MIRF reactions, two closed-shell molecules react to give a radical pair or biradical. The exact nature of this transformation depends on the σ- or π-bonds involved in the MIRF process, and this Minireview specifically focuses on reactions that transform two σ-bonds into two radicals and a closed-shell product molecule.
