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

Smart molecules have attracted increasing attention due to their transformative role in creating the next generation of smart structures and devices. Smart bistable coordination complexes are a class of functional complexes which have two stable states that can be reversibly switched in response to external stimuli. Such bistable molecules play a vital role in various applications, such as sensors, data storage, spintronics, smart windows, optical switches, information encryption and decryption, displays, actuators, etc. Herein, the recent research studies into the development of these smart bistable metal coordination complexes are reviewed. According to the different external stimuli, these smart bistable coordination systems have been classified and summarized, including light-responsive systems, thermally-responsive systems, electrically-responsive systems, mechanically-responsive systems, and some other cases. These systems are further subdivided according to the changes in signals (e.g., color, fluorescence, spin state, crystalline phase) under external stimuli. The design principles of each type of smart bistable metal complexes as well as their broad and innovative applications are comprehensively described. Finally, the challenges and opportunities in this field are briefly analyzed and discussed.
