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 thermosalient effect is a rarely observed, potentially very useful and at the present, unpredictable mechanical response during a phase transition that is thought to hold the potential for rapid and clean energy conversion devoid of gaseous products. Here, we report the serendipitous discovery of a rare instance of a thermosalient organic solid that exhibits the effect below room temperature. The crystals of this carbazole-based material are dynamic at both molecular and macroscopic scales. Using variable temperature synchrotron X-ray diffraction and variable-temperature solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR), we thoroughly examined the hysteretic structural transition in this material, emphasizing its macroscopic reconfigurability. We discovered unexpected large-amplitude molecular oscillations in the low-temperature phase, which challenge conventional assumptions about salient materials. Notably, we combined
