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

Nitrogen has five valence electrons and can form a maximum of three shared electron-pair bonds to complete its octet, which suggests that its maximum bond order is three. With a joint anion photoelectron spectroscopy and quantum chemistry investigation, we report herein that nitrogen presents a quadruple bonding interaction with thorium in ThN. The quadruple Th≣N bond consists of two electron-sharing Th-N π bonds formed between the Th-6d
