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

Photoswitchable imines demonstrate light-dependent dynamic covalent chemistry and can function as molecular ratchets. However, the design of aryliminopyrazoles (AIPs) has been limited to N-pyrazole derivatives with ortho-pyrrolidine motifs. The impact of other functionalization patterns on the photoswitching properties remains unknown. Here, we present a systematic structure-property analysis and study how the photoswitching properties can be tuned through ortho- and para-functionalization of the phenyl ring in N-pyrazole and N-phenyl AIPs. This study establishes the first set of design rules for these AIP photoswitches and reports the most stable Z-isomer of an AIP to date, enabling its crystallization and resulting in the first reported crystal structure of a metastable Z-aldimine. Finally, we demonstrate that the AIPs are promising candidates for photoswitching in the condensed phase.
