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

The electronic distribution characteristics of molecules significantly influence the charge transport properties and the device performance of molecular electronic devices. These characteristics are closely related to subtle molecular structures, forming a formidable challenge for effective control. Here, a flexible crown ether moiety is integrated into the single-molecule junction, where its spatial structure can be regulated by an external electric field, enabling efficient tuning of the electronic characteristics. It is found that the transformation barriers between different structures and the conductance of single-molecule junctions can be adjusted by the external electric field. Both theoretical and experimental results consistently demonstrate that the interaction between the external electric field and the intrinsic molecular dipole can alter the molecular energy and stabilize a series of metastable molecular configurations, allowing for the quasi-continuous manipulation of the electronic characteristics. This study unveils efficient control of the single-molecule electronic characteristics by external electric fields, advancing a deeper understanding of molecular electronics and supramolecular chemistry.
