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

Hierarchically ordered chiral crystals have attracted intense research efforts for their huge potential in optical devices, asymmetric catalysis and pharmaceutical crystal engineering. Major barriers to the application have been the use of costly enantiomerically pure building blocks and the difficulty in precise control of chirality transfer from molecular to macroscopic level. Herein, we describe a strategy that offers not only the preferred formation of one enantiomorph from racemic solution but also the subsequent enantiomer-specific oriented attachment of this enantiomorph by balancing stereoselective and non-stereoselective interactions. It is demonstrated by on-demand switching the sign of fan-shaped crystal aggregates and the configuration of their components only by changing the molar mass of tailored polymeric additives. Owing to the simplicity and wide scope of application, this methodology opens an immediate opportunity for facile and efficient fabrication of one-handed macroscopic aggregates of homochiral organic crystals from racemic starting materials.
