α,ω-Alkanedibromides Form Low Conductance Chemisorbed Junctions with Silver Electrodes.
Article in Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Chemical groups capable of connecting molecules physically and electrically between electrodes are of critical importance in molecular-scale electronics, influencing junction conductance, variability, and function. While the development of such linkage chemistries has focused on interactions at gold, the distinct reactivity and electronic structure of other electrode metals provides underexplored opportunities to characterize and exploit new binding motifs. In this work we show that α,ω-alkanedibromides spontaneously form well-defined junctions using silver, but not gold, electrodes through application of the glovebox-based scanning tunneling microscope-based break junction method. We systematically evaluate, through a series of additional studies, whether these molecular components form physisorbed or chemisorbed contact geometries, and if they undergo secondary chemical reactions at the silver surface. Critically, we find that the same junctions form when using different halide, or trimethylstannyl, terminal groups, suggestive of an electronically transparent silver-carbon(sp
