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

1,10-Diaza-18-crown-6-1,10-bis(malonic acid) (oddm or macromal) is a promising chelator for large hard metal cations due to its unique structure, which combines the complexing properties of aza-crown Kryptofix 22 with those of malonic acid. This study uncovers the previously overlooked decarboxylation of macromal under mildly to strongly acidic pH conditions at room temperature. As a result, the acidity constants of macromal are carefully re-evaluated, providing precise data for its accurate and informed handling in aqueous media. The implications of these findings for metal complexation and new possible applications of macromal are also presented.
