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

Aromatic hydrocarbon belts (AHCBs) have fascinated scientists for over half a century because of their aesthetically appealing structures and potential applications in the field of carbon nanotechnology. One of the enduring challenges in synthesizing AHCBs is how do we cope with the build-up of energy in the highly strained structures during their synthesis? Successful preparations of AHCBs offer the prospect of providing well-defined templates for the growth of uniform single-walled carbon nanotubes-a long-standing interest in nanocarbon science. In this Review, we revisit the protracted historical background involving the rational design and synthesis of AHCBs and highlight some of the more recent breakthroughs, with emphasis being placed on the different strategies that have been used for building up curved and fused benzenoid rings into molecular belts. We also discuss the scientific challenges in this fledgling field and provide some pointers as to what could transpire in years to come.
