Heterocycle-based dynamic covalent chemistry for dynamic functional materials.
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 5 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
Dynamic covalent chemistry, which renders reusable and degradable thermoset polymers, is a promising tool for solving the global problem of plastic pollution. Although dynamic covalent chemistry can construct dynamic polymer networks, it rarely introduces other functions into polymers, which limits the development of dynamic functional materials. Herein, we develop heterocycle-based dynamic covalent chemistry and demonstrate the reversibility of the aza-Michael addition reaction between functional heterocycle dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-thione and electron-deficient olefins. Our method produces a degradable linear polymer and recyclable and self-healable crosslinked polymers similar to traditional dynamic covalent chemistry, but the heterocycles endow the polymer with excellent ultraviolet-blocking and high-energy blue light-blocking abilities, and tunable fluorescence and phosphorescence properties. These are difficult to create with ordinary dynamic covalent chemistry. This proof-of-concept study provides insights into heterocycle-based dynamic reactions, and may prompt the development of dynamic chemistry and dynamic functional materials.
