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

Extension and clustering of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are key mechanistic steps for coking and deactivation in catalysis reactions. However, no unambiguous mechanistic picture exists on molecule-resolved PAHs speciation and evolution, due to the immense experimental challenges in deciphering the complex PAHs structures. Herein, we report an effective strategy through integrating a high resolution MALDI FT-ICR mass spectrometry with isotope labeling technique. With this strategy, a complete route for aromatic hydrocarbon evolution is unveiled for SAPO-34-catalyzed, industrially relevant methanol-to-olefins (MTO) as a model reaction. Notable is the elucidation of an unusual, previously unrecognized mechanistic step: cage-passing growth forming cross-linked multi-core PAHs with graphene-like structure. This mechanistic concept proves general on other cage-based molecule sieves. This preliminary work would provide a versatile means to decipher the key mechanistic step of molecular mass growth for PAHs involved in catalysis and combustion chemistry.
