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

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are versatile materials used in adsorption and separation. Post-synthetic modification, especially solvent-assisted linker exchange (SALE), enables precise ligand functionalization while maintaining framework integrity. However, incorporating linkers with Lewis basic sites presents challenges due to their strong coordination tendencies, which can disrupt framework stability. In this work, a ligand additive-stabilized SALE is introduced to incorporate 2-mercaptoimidazole into zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8), preserving its crystallinity and porosity while enabling controlled functionalization. A systematic study is conducted to correlate SALE parameters-including exchange ligand concentration, reaction time, and solvent environment-with morphological changes and ligand incorporation efficiency. Quantitative image analysis of MOF particle curvature revealed the relationship between ligand exchange dynamics and framework stability, providing insights into SALE-induced structural transformations. The sulfur-functionalized ZIF-8 exhibits a high Hg
