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

Powdered silk fibroin (PSF) extracted from Bombyx mori cocoons is reported as a heterogeneous organocatalyst in the selective Michael 1,4 addition of nitromethane to α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, affording Michael adducts in almost quantitative yields, with complete antidiastereoselectivity and in mild conditions. PSF proved to be reusable for more than 50 recycles without any loss of catalytic activity. In silico studies suggest the presence of an enzyme-like pocket as the active catalytic site, pointing out fibroin fibers as a heterogeneous biological organocatalyst.
