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

Selecting more sustainable solvents is a crucial component to mitigating the environmental impacts of chemical processes. Numerous tools have been developed to address this problem within the pharmaceutical industry, employing data-driven approaches such as multidimensional scaling or principal component analysis (PCA). Interactive knowledge-based kernel PCA is a variant of PCA that allows users to shape 2D solvent maps by defining the positions of data points, imparting expert knowledge that was not included in the original descriptor set. We have applied interactive PCA to the task of solvent selection and present an intuitive interface that is integrated into AI4Green, an electronic laboratory notebook that encourages sustainable chemistry. A set of evidence-based user guidelines were developed and used in combination with the interactive PCA to identify four potential solvent substitutions for an example thioesterification reaction.
