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

Inspired by the formation of hierarchically structured natural biominerals (e.g., bone and tooth), various sequence-defined polymers have been synthesized and exploited for design and synthesis of functional hybrid materials. Here, we synthesized a series of organic-inorganic hybrid peptoids by using polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) nanoclusters as side chains at a variety of backbone locations. We further demonstrated the use of these hybrid peptoids as sequence-defined building blocks to assemble a new class of programmable two-dimensional (2D) nanocrystals. They are highly stable and exhibit an enhanced mechanical property and electron scattering due to the incorporated POSS nanoclusters. By varying peptoid side-chain chemistry, we further demonstrated the precise displacement of a large variety of function groups within these 2D nanocrystals and developed a highly efficient aqueous light-harvesting system for live cell imaging. Because these 2D nanocrystals are biocompatible and highly programmable, we expect that they offer unique opportunities for applications.
