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

Twisted nanographenes (NGs) are currently attracting a lot of attention owing to their geometrical and electronic structures that differ substantively from conventional planar and nonplanar NGs, while the strategic synthesis of twisted NGs is still a topic of interest because the products are often interconvertible among unidirectionally, alternatively, or randomly twisted geometries and otherwise obtained as a mixture of them. Herein, we report the conformationally specific synthesis of twisted NGs where the geometry was reinforced by introducing 1,4-dioxane rings at a K-region of a central pyrene core that bears a large contortion. The 1,4-dioxane rings were generated by semi-deprotection, of tetraoxa[4.4.4]-propellanes in precursor molecules, which were confirmed to be engaged in forming C-C bonds via a Friedel-Crafts type mechanism. The large contortion within the pyrene core causes a narrowed HOMO-LUMO gap on account of unusual
