Switching Hydrogen Bonding to π-Stacking: The Thiophenol Dimer and Trimer.
Article in The journal of physical chemistry letters, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
We used jet-cooled broadband rotational spectroscopy to explore the balance between π-stacking and hydrogen-bonding interactions in the self-aggregation of thiophenol. Two different isomers were detected for the thiophenol dimer, revealing dispersion-controlled π-stacked structures anchored by a long S-H···S sulfur hydrogen bond. The weak intermolecular forces allow for noticeable internal dynamics in the dimers, as tunneling splittings are observed for the global minimum. The large-amplitude motion is ascribed to a concerted inversion motion between the two rings, exchanging the roles of the proton donor and acceptor in the thiol groups. The determined torsional barrier of
