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

We present the design and characterization of two novel hydrophobic eutectic mixtures, where π-π attractive forces may drive deep eutectic solvent (DES) formation and provide potential capabilities for sustainable extractions. As model systems, we selected precursor molecules where ad hoc functional groups modulate the electron density of the aromatic rings in opposite directions, namely, 1,3-diacetylbenzene (DAB), 3,5-dimethoxyphenol (DMP), and 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene (TMB). Solid-liquid equilibrium analysis, conducted through differential scanning calorimetry measurements, and the conductor-like screen model for realistic solvents predictive tool reveal a different thermal behavior between the DMP/DAB and TMB/DAB mixtures. A remarkable depression of the melting point (MP) as compared to thermal ideality is found for the DMP/DAB system, that can be classified as a type V DES. This deviation originates both from the strong hydrogen-bonds (H-bonds) between the DAB and DMP molecules in the mixture and the presence of noncovalent π-π interactions between the aromatic rings of the two components. Conversely, only a slight but detectable MP depression is observed upon DAB addition to TMB and this thermal behavior is explained by the absence of H-bonds and the existence of π-π interactions between the electron-rich TMB and the electron-deficient DAB aromatic systems. The π-π interaction between the TMB and DAB molecules is more favorable than the self-aggregation among TMB molecules in the pure state due to the high electron density of the aromatic ring and the steric hindrance among the bulky methoxy groups.
