Exploring the chemistry of higher acenes: from synthesis to applications.
Review in Chemical science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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
This review explores the advancements in the chemistry of higher acenes and their derivatives, with a focus on their synthesis, characterization, and potential applications. Historically, higher acenes have presented challenges to study due to their inherent instability and reactivity under ambient conditions. However, innovative synthetic strategies, including on-surface synthesis and the precursor approach, have significantly contributed to the ability to synthesize higher acenes even at preparative scales while evaluating their magnetic and semiconducting properties. Furthermore, ethynylene-bridged acene oligomers and polymers, known for their extended π-conjugated systems, have shown promise not only as semiconducting materials but also as topological materials. As synthetic methods continue to evolve and characterization techniques become more sophisticated, higher acenes offer exciting opportunities for progress in the fields of organic chemistry and materials science, paving the way for advanced applications in organic electronics.
