Precise placement of thioester bonds into sequence-controlled polymers containing ABAC-type units.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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 precise placement of thioester bonds into sequence-controlled polymers remains a grand challenge. Here, we demonstrate the versatile synthesis of sequence-controlled polymers from the step polymerization of cyclic thioanhydrides (A), diacrylates (B), and diols/diamines (C). In addition to easily accessible diverse monomers, the method is metal-free/catalyst-free, atom-economical, and wide in monomer scope, yielding 107 polymers with >90% yields and weight-average molecular weights of up to 175.4 kDa. The obtained polymers contain ABAC-type repeating units and precisely distributed in-chain thioester and ester (and amide) groups. The chemoselectivity of the polymerization is revealed by density functional theory calculations. The polymer library exhibits considerably tunable performance: glass-transition temperatures of -36-72 °C, melting temperatures of 43-133 °C, degradability, thermoplastics/elastomers, and thioester-based functions. This study furnishes a facile method to precisely incorporate thioester bonds into sequence-controlled polymers.
