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

Pyrene-appended glucono gelators with different spacer lengths (two and four methylene units) were designed and found to form supramolecular gels in organic aqueous solvents. The shorter spacer gelator 1 was prone to self-assemble into nanotubes due to well stacking multi-bilayer unit, while gelator 2 with the longer spacer formed nanofibers due to the relatively disordered packing structure. Both of the gels showed supramolecular chirality as well as circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) due to the chirality transfer from the glucose moiety to the assembly. Interestingly, the CD and CPL signals were opposite for the two gels. It was suggested that the packing of the pyrene unit in the gels were different due to the spacer and resulted in the inversed chiroptical properties. The work provided a deeper understanding of the origin of the supramolecular chirality and furthers the design of the CPL materials.
