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

We report a new class of synthetic molecular pumps that use a stepwise information ratchet mechanism to achieve the kinetic gating required to sequester their macrocyclic substrates from bulk solution. Threading occurs as a result of active template reactions between the pump terminus amine and an acyl electrophile, whereby the bond-forming reaction is accelerated through the cavity of a crown ether. Carboxylation of the resulting amide results in displacement of the ring to the collection region of the thread. Conversion of the carbamate to a phenolic ester provides an intermediate rotaxane suitable for further pumping cycles. In this way rings can be ratcheted onto a thread from one or both ends of appropriately designed molecular pumps. Each pumping cycle results in one additional ring being added to the thread per terminus acyl group. The absence of pseudorotaxane states ensures that no dethreading of intermediates occurs during the pump operation. This facilitates the loading of different macrocycles in any chosen sequence, illustrated by the pump-mediated synthesis of a [4]rotaxane containing three different macrocycles as a single sequence isomer. A [5]rotaxane synthesized using a dual-opening transamidation pump was structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, revealing a series of stabilizing CH···O interactions between the crown ethers and the polyethylene glycol catchment region of the thread.
