The Perfluoro Cage Effect: A Search for Electron-Encapsulating Molecules.
Article in ACS omega, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
Quantum chemical calculations have for some time predicted that perfluorinated polyhedral organic molecules should exhibit a low-energy LUMO consisting of the overlapping inward-pointing lobes of the C-F σ* orbitals. Accordingly, these molecules should be able to encapsulate an electron within the interior of their cavities. Inspired by the recent confirmation of this prediction for perfluorocubane, we have sought to identify additional perfluorinated cage molecules capable of this remarkable behavior, which we refer to as the perfluoro cage effect (PCE). Using DFT calculations with multiple well-tested exchange-correlation functionals and large STO-QZ4P basis sets, we have identified several systems including [n]prismanes (
