Processive ring-opening metathesis polymerization of low ring strain cycloalkenes via molecularly confined catalyst.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Controlling the reactivity of the propagating chain end in polymerization reactions is crucial for achieving well-defined polymers in both synthetic polymer chemistry and biology. Processive enzymes in nature have evolved substrate-enclosing structures, safeguarding the catalytic center against reentry by the nascent polymer. Here, we present a strategy for processive catalytic polymerization by encapsulating catalysts for ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) into the sub-surface cages of a metal-organic framework. The sub-surface encapsulation of the catalysts within the framework allowed the nascent polymer to grow out of the framework with minimal impedance and achieve continuous chain growth, while protecting the propagating polymer chain end from the secondary metathesis reaction with the alkenes in the backbone of the nascent polymer. As a result, ultra-high-molecular-weight polymers with low dispersity were generated from the ROMP of low ring strain cycloalkenes such as cis-cyclooctene and cyclopentene. We demonstrate that ultra-high-molecular-weight polymers with degradable backbones and enhanced mechanical and adhesive properties could be readily generated from this approach.
