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

Constructing three-dimensional covalent organic frameworks (3D COFs) remains a significant challenge compared to other areas of reticular chemistry. Most existing methods for constructing 3D COFs emphasize the necessity of at least one precursor being extended into 3D space. As a result, designing and synthesizing precursors with specific stereoconformations has become a dominant strategy for discovering new 3D COFs. In this study, we leverage the principle that the steric hindrance of intermediates during COF formation is inherently greater than that of the precursors. We demonstrate a strategy utilizing multinode porphyrin blocks with eight rotatable knots to create intermediates with steric hindrance-confined rigid stereoconformations, which can be viewed as active precursors for guiding 3D formation of COFs with high crystallinity. This approach paves an avenue to self-adaptive COF growth towards diverse 3D topologies that may circumvent obstacles for traditional precursor synthesis.
