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

Surfactants are amphiphilic molecules that can form micellar structures with a hydrophobic core and a hydrophilic corona in water. In this work, we combine the remarkable properties of photoactive metal complexes with the supramolecular organization of surfactants to create photoactive vessels that support photocatalytic processes in aqueous media, even for starting materials that are insoluble in water. Herein, we report a library of photoactive metal complex surfactants (MeCSs) and their photophysical and photochemical properties. These properties are modulated by the length of an alkyl chain attached to the polypyridyl ligand of the metal complex. Finally, an alkene hydroxytrifluoromethylation photocatalytic reaction was demonstrated in aqueous solution, suggesting the usefulness of metal complex surfactants for the development of green aqueous photoreactions.
