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

In the traditional view, spin pairing occurs between two electrons in a chemical bond where the bonding interaction compensates for the penalty of electrostatic repulsion. It is a mystery whether spin pairing can occur between two non-bonded electrons within a molecular entity. Unveiling this type of spin entanglement (that is, pairing between two spatially segregated spins) at the molecular scale is a long-standing challenge. Clar's goblet, proposed by Erich Clar in 1972, provides an ideal platform to verify this unusual property. Here we report the solution-phase synthesis of Clar's goblet and experimental elucidation of its spin properties. Magnetic studies reveal that the two spins are spatially segregated with an average distance of 8.7 Å and antiferromagnetically coupled in the ground state with an ΔE
