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

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are an emerging nanomaterial because of their outstanding performance in various applications. In recent years, the segment molecules of CNTs, referred to as carbon nanorings (CNRs) or carbon nanobelts (CNBs), have gained attention for their unique structures and properties, as well as their potential as seed molecules for the precise synthesis of CNTs. CNBs are rigid and thick segments of CNTs whose synthesis has been addressed by scientists fascinated by the uniqueness of CNBs long before the discovery of CNTs. After 60 years of efforts by synthetic chemists all over the world, the synthesis of the first CNB, (6,6)-CNB, was achieved by our group in 2017. Since this milestone, diverse types of nanobelts have been synthesized through various synthetic routes, thereby demonstrating their photophysical, magnetic, and redox properties derived from rigid belt structures. The applications of CNBs have also been introduced recently. The formation of the host-guest complex, transformation to three-dimensional molecules, and measurement of conductivity have been reported for CNBs. This paper summarizes the brief history and perspective of CNBs. Further synthetic campaigns and aggressive application of CNBs would create novel and groundbreaking scenes in materials science.
