Directional Ionic Bonds.
Article in Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Covalent and ionic bonds represent two fundamental forms of bonding between atoms. In contrast to bonds with significant covalent character, ionic bonds are of limited use for the spatial structuring of matter because of the lack of directionality of the electric field around simple ions. We describe a predictable directional orientation of ionic bonds that contain concave nonpolar shields around the charged sites. Such directional ionic bonds offer an alternative to hydrogen bonds and other directional noncovalent interactions for the structuring of organic molecules and materials.
