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

A series of novel samarium complexes bearing cyclopentadienyl-amide chelate ligands were synthesized and characterized by X-ray analysis. The complexes function as effective proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) catalysts, facilitating molybdenum-catalyzed ammonia formation from dinitrogen under ambient conditions. In this reaction system, the Sm complexes could be recycled over 300 times, and they increased the ammonia formation rate by sevenfold compared to that obtained for reactions occurring in the absence of such complexes. Experimental results and density functional theory calculations indicate that the Sm complexes undergo protonation and reduction to form Sm(II) complexes, which then accelerate proton and electron transfer to the Mo complexes via PCET processes from the terminal proton source and reductant. This paper presents the first successful example of Sm complexes that can function as efficient catalysts for 300 cycles, promoting proton and electron transfer in Mo-catalyzed ammonia formation.
