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

Light-powered molecular pumps represent an intriguing class of artificial nanomachines capable of using the energy of photons to perform directional transport. Pseudorotaxanes composed of macrocyclic crown ethers that encircle axles based on azobenzene photoswitches and secondary ammonium recognition sites have emerged as promising architectures, as light can modulate both the kinetics and thermodynamics of complex formation, thereby enabling directionally biased motion by an energy ratchet mechanism. In this study, we examine the effect of photoisomerization on the threading-unthreading dynamics of a symmetrical axle bearing decoupled azobenzene and dibenzylammonium units. The results are compared with those obtained on a previously reported more compact axle in which the two units share a phenyl ring. We found that, while
