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

The environment surrounding a molecular junction affects its charge-transport properties and, therefore, must be chosen with care. In the case of measurements in liquid media, the solvent must provide good solvation, grant junction stability, and, in the case of electrolyte gating experiments, allow efficient electrical coupling to the gate electrodes through control of the electrical double layer. We evaluated in this study the deep eutectic solvent mixture (DES) ethaline, which is a mixture of choline chloride and ethylene glycol (1:2), for single-molecule junction fabrication with break-junction techniques. In ethaline, we were able to (i) measure challenging and poorly soluble molecular wires, exploiting the improved solvation capabilities offered by DESs, and (ii) efficiently apply an electrostatic gate able to modulate the conductance of the junction by approximately an order of magnitude within a ∼1 V potential window. The electrochemical gating results on a Au-
