The Cation-π Interaction in Chemistry and Biology.
Review in Chemical reviews, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 40 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
The cation-π interaction is an important noncovalent binding force that impacts all areas of chemistry and biology. Extensive computational and gas phase experimental studies have established the potential strength and the essential nature of the interaction. Previous reviews have emphasized studies of model systems and a variety of biological examples. This work includes discussion of those areas but emphasizes other areas that are perhaps less well appreciated. These include the novel cation-π binding ability of alkali metals in water; the application of the cation-π interaction to organic synthesis and chemical biology; cooperative behaviors of multiple cation-π interactions, including adhesive proteins from mussels and similar organisms and the formation and modulation of biomolecular condensates (phase separation); and cation-π interactions involved in recognizing DNA/RNA.
