Reversible formation and control of linear conjugation in polymers.
Article in Nature chemistry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The emergence of organic semiconductors has laid the foundation for the field of plastic electronics. Controlling π-conjugation by designing proper conjugated moieties is one of the commonest strategies for achieving desired semiconducting properties in conjugated materials. Despite significant advancements in the field, the reversible formation of extended conjugation to in situ switch the nature of macromolecules between semiconductors and insulators remains elusive. Here we disclose a generic strategy for developing polymeric structures that incorporate molecular switch units. These units enable the controlled activation and deactivation of linear conjugation in response to acid-base or electronic stimuli. This is achieved by copolymerizing non-π-conjugated lactone-functionalized xanthene moieties with traditional π-conjugated building blocks. With 2,6-dihydroxynaphthalene as an 'electro-acid', the electrochromic-like properties of these polymers were explored, demonstrating an effective in situ conversion of the non-conjugated, colourless polymers into conjugated, coloured polymers.
