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

The trivalent actinides are produced in the nuclear fuel cycle during power production and provide the largest long-term radiation dose in used nuclear fuel. It is ideal for these elements to be removed from used nuclear fuel for disposal and a necessity for fuel recycling. A key challenge to this is the similarity of chemical behavior of the trivalent actinides to the lanthanides that are also present as fission products in used fuel. Thus far, some of the most effective separations of actinides from lanthanides utilise chelating agents containing sulfur moieties such as dithiophosphinates that selectively bind to actinide ions because of a greater bond covalency relative to lanthanide ions. Typically, greater differences between actinide and lanthanide ions are observable the more ligands and chelators bonds have a covalent character. Here, a series of complexes of the trivalent actinides Np(III) through Cf(III) (excluding Bk(III)) with maleonitrile-1,2-dithiolate (mnt
