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

Morphology and size control of insoluble and infusible conjugated polymers are significant for their applications. Development of a precipitation polymerization route without using a surface stabilizer is preferred to control the reaction, morphology, and size. In the present work, precipitation polymerization for an amorphous conjugated polymer network, a new type of polymerized structure containing functional units, was studied for the size and morphology control in the solution phase at low temperature. The random copolymerization of benzoquinone (BQ) and pyrrole (Py) monomers formed microspheres of the BQ-Py network polymers as the precipitates in the solution phase. The particle diameter was controlled in the range of 70 nm and 1 μm by changing the pH of the solution and concentration of the monomers. The resultant nanoparticles were applied to a metal-free electrocatalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The catalytic activity of the BQ-Py nanoparticles was higher than that of the bulk micrometer-sized particles. The results imply that the morphology and size of amorphous conjugated polymer networks can be controlled by precipitation polymerization.
