Correlating the Influence of Disulfides in Monolayers across Photoelectron Spectroscopy Wettability and Tunneling Charge-Transport.
Article in Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Despite their ubiquity, self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of thiols on coinage metals are difficult to study and are still not completely understood, particularly with respect to the nature of thiol-metal bonding. Recent advances in molecular electronics have highlighted this deficiency due to the sensitivity of tunneling charge-transport to the subtle differences in the overall composition of SAMs and the chemistry of their attachment to surfaces. These advances have also challenged assumptions about the spontaneous formation of covalent thiol-metal bonds. This paper describes a series of experiments that correlate changes in the physical properties of SAMs to photoelectron spectroscopy to unambiguously assign binding energies of noncovalent interactions to physisorbed disulfides. These disulfides can be converted to covalent metal-thiolate bonds by exposure to free thiols, leading to the remarkable observation of the total loss and recovery of length-dependent tunneling charge-transport. The identification and assignment of physisorbed disulfides solve a long-standing mystery and reveal new, dynamic properties in SAMs of thiols.
