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

The versatility of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) has led to their integration into applications like biosensing, separation, environmental monitoring, and drug delivery technologies. This diversity of applications has resulted in a plethora of synthesis approaches to precisely tailor the materials' properties to the specific demands. A critical, yet often overlooked, factor in MIP synthesis is the choice of porogen. Porogens play a pivotal role in defining the morphology, surface properties, swelling behavior, and binding efficiencies of the resulting MIPs. While aprotic solvents have traditionally been the standard in molecular imprinting, recent developments have expanded the variety of employed porogens accompanied by notable improvements in MIP performance. Therefore, this review aims to highlight both traditional and emerging types of porogens used in molecular imprinting, their influence on polymer properties and sorption performance, and their application across various sensing and extraction applications.
