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

The development of titianosilicates is considered a major milestone in oxidative catalysis due to the ability of framework Ti sites to co-ordinate hydrogen peroxide/peroxy species. Herein, we demonstrate that interfacial Ti sites can be constructed through the vertical intergrowth of two MFI-type zeolite surfaces along [100] and [010] projections, with the assistance of UV-induced hydroxyl radicals. The application of these intergrown titanosilicalites as supports for Au species are observed to simultaneously offer a 2.1-fold and 3.0-fold increase in propene oxide (PO) formation rate and Au efficiency, respectively, when compared to standard Au/TS-1 catalysts. Mechanistic studies reveal that the intergrown interface Ti sites allow for lower-energy epoxidation pathways with more efficient activation of key oxygen-transfer intermediates. These results provide insights into the development of zeolite intergrown interface sites (e.g., titanosilicalite/silicalite-1/ZSM-5) and may allow for further advancements in the epoxidation of a range of key feedstocks.
