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

Halogen bonding enables the mechanochemical ball-milling isomerization of an otherwise persistent cis-coordinated metal complex into the corresponding trans-isomer. The importance of halogen bonding for enabling the cis→trans isomerization of the metal centre is evidenced by real-time in situ synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction monitoring of the ball-milling experiments that showed the transient appearance of a cis-geometry metal-organic halogen-bonded (MOXB) cocrystal, which is rapidly replaced by the corresponding trans-geometry one, with any excess, non-halogen-bonded cis-geometry complex being retained throughout the milling experiment. The importance of cocrystallization for cis→trans isomerization is supported by periodic density-functional theory calculations which show that the process becomes notably more enthalpically favourable in the presence of the halogen bond donor. The presented work indicates that the formation of MOXB cocrystals can open the door to new, metal-based responsive behaviours, different from those of parent solid-state coordination complexes.
