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

Chiral drugs are essential in modern medicine, but separating their enantiomers is challenging due to their similar physicochemical properties. However, traditional methods are often costly and inefficient. Here we show that chiral covalent organic framework (CCOF-300) membranes, induced by chiral dopants (L-( + )-/D-(-)-tartaric acid), can achieve high enantioselectivity in separating chiral drugs. Specifically, CCOF-300 membrane achieved 100% enantiomeric excess in separating racemic N-Fmoc-N'-[1-(4,4-Dimethyl-2,6-dioxocyclohexylidene)ethyl]-lysine (Fmoc-Lys(Dde)-OH). We found that size matching and differences in diffusion rates between enantiomers are key factors in chiral separation. Additionally, there were no significant differences in the binding energy between ibuprofen (IBU), Fmoc-Lys(Dde)-OH, and CCOF-300, indicating that binding energy is not the dominant factor in chiral separation. This study proposes a cost-effective and scalable method for chiral drug separation, highlighting the potential of chiral induction strategy in improving chiral separation technology in the pharmaceutical industry.
