Photochemistry of interstellar ice forming complex organic molecules.
Review in Nature reviews. Chemistry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Astrochemistry is a well-established multidisciplinary field devoted to the study of atoms and molecules in space. Although many astrochemists study molecules in the gas phase and reproduce their abundances by modelling the physical conditions of the interstellar medium, the microscopic dust particles floating in the interstellar medium also deserve the attention of the community. Radiation and thermally driven processes taking place on the bare dust, and particularly on dust particles covered by icy mantles, are mimicked in the laboratory. In addition to water, interstellar ice contains other simple species. In this Review we present our current knowledge on ice photochemistry and thermal processing that ultimately leads to the formation of complex organic molecules. Numerous complex organic molecules are of astrobiological interest and match those present in comets and asteroids. Upon impact of these minor bodies, water and complex organic molecules could have been delivered to the early Earth, which might have been vital for the first prebiotic reactions.
