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

Advancements in the on-surface synthesis of atomically precise graphene nanostructures are propelled by the introduction of innovative precursor designs and reaction types. Until now, the latter has been confined to cross-coupling and cyclization reactions that involve the cleavage of specific atoms or groups. In this article, we elucidate how the migration of phenyl substituents attached to graphene nanoribbons can be harnessed to generate arrays of [18]-annulene pores at the edges of the nanostructures. This sequential pathway is revealed through a comprehensive study employing bond-resolved scanning tunneling microscopy and ab-initio computational techniques. The yield of pore formation is maximized by anchoring the graphene nanoribbons at steps of vicinal surfaces, underscoring the potential of these substrates to guide reaction paths. Our study introduces a new reaction to the on-surface synthesis toolbox along with a sequential route, altogether enabling the extension of this strategy towards the formation of other porous nanostructures.
