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

Ethylene-bridged oligoureas are dynamic foldamers in which the polarity of a coherent chain of intramolecular hydrogen bonds may be controlled by intra- or intermolecular interactions with hydrogen-bond donors or acceptors. In this paper, we describe the way that supramolecular interactions between ethylene-bridged oligoureas bearing a 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenylurea (BTMP) terminus leads to higher-order structures both in the crystalline state and in solution. The oligoureas self-assemble by head-to-tail hydrogen bonding interactions to form either supramolecular 'nanorings' with cyclic hydrogen bond chain directionality, or supramolecular helical chains of hydrogen bonds. The self-assembly process features a cascade of cooperative positive allostery, in which each intermolecular hydrogen bond formation at the BTMP terminus switches the native hydrogen bond chain directionality of monomers, favouring further assembly. Monomers with a benzyl urea terminus self-assemble into nanorings, whereas monomers with a
