Monomer-Dependent Selectivity in Sulfur-Containing Ring-Opening Copolymerisation: Bimetallic Catalysis for Predictive Design of Degradable Polymers.
Article in Angewandte Chemie (International ed. in English), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Sulfur-containing polymers offer unique opportunities for advanced materials due to their inherent degradability, high refractive indices, and potential for chemical recyclability. Yet, synthetic strategies for their precise construction remain underdeveloped and monomer selection rules to achieve this are elusive. Herein, we achieve the first comprehensive evaluation of sulfurated ring-opening copolymerisations (ROCOP) performed under unified conditions using a single heterobimetallic Cr(III)/Rb(I) catalyst platform. Although such catalysts are largely unexplored in sulfur-based ROCOP, our study demonstrates their remarkable synergistic performance in controlling both activity and selectivity across diverse heteroallene/epoxide systems. We identify carbonyl sulfide (COS) as the most promising monomer, enabling perfectly alternating copolymers under mild conditions on kinetic grounds. As a close second, PhNCS emerges as a viable, easier to handle, alternative that offers selective access to sulfur-containing copolymers. In contrast, thioanhydrides and CS
