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

Protein photocatalysts provide a modular platform to access new reaction pathways and affect product outcomes, but their use in polymer synthesis is limited because co-catalysts and/or co-reductants are required to complete catalytic cycles. Herein, we report using zinc myoglobin (ZnMb), an inherently photoactive protein, to mediate photoinduced electron/energy transfer (PET) reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerizations. Using ZnMb as the sole reagent for catalysis, photomediated polymerizations of N,N-dimethylacrylamide in PBS were achieved with predictable molecular weights, dispersity values approaching 1.1, and high chain-end fidelity. We found that initial apparent rate constants of polymerization increased from 4.6×10-5 s
