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

α-Polylysine (PLys) is a versatile, renewable, and biodegradable polymer with extensive amine functionality and water-solubility, making it an ideal candidate for critical applications such as heavy metal adsorption and beyond. However, conventional synthesis of linear PLys relies on toxic reagents for side-chain deprotection, raising environmental and safety concerns that hinder its commercial scalability and sustainability. In this work, we introduce a groundbreaking, environmentally friendly method for PLys production using thermal deprotection of fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl (Fmoc)-protected PLys. This innovative approach eliminates the need for hazardous deprotection agents, offering a greener and more cost-effective alternative. Beyond the synthesis of homopolymeric PLys, we extend this method to create α-polylysine-
