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

Efficient decontamination and recovery of neptunium (Np) are some of the most challenging tasks in nuclear waste management due to the unique redox nature of Np. A feasible path to fulfill this task is converting inextractable Np-(V) to extractable Np-(IV) or Np-(VI), yet it has not been satisfactorily solved, owing to the inefficient valence conversion. Herein, we report the design and synthesis of a novel redoxable deep eutectic solvent (DES) to realize the in situ reduction of Np-(V) in a biphasic extraction system. With the synergistic effects of complexation by a diglycolamide ligand (hydrogen-bonding acceptor) and reduction by phenol (hydrogen-bonding donor), Np-(V) in the aqueous phase can be effectively reduced to Np-(IV) and extracted into the organic phase, affording a 1000-fold increase in distribution ratios. Meanwhile, the DES is well reusable in a wide range of acidic environments, showing potential in real applications.
