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

The synthesis of well-defined and multifunctional polymeric systems for drug delivery is a topic of intense research. However, a major limitation in the functionalization of these systems for nanomedical applications is the reliance on toxic catalysts or non-biocompatible strategies for polymer coupling and ligation, as well as the need for extensive purification steps when multiple functionalization reactions are performed. In this work, we introduce tetrazines containing both a methyl sulfide and hydroxyl functionality as the initiator for ring opening polymerization of l-lactide. We demonstrate that the obtained polymer can be successfully conjugated to mPEG-SH by chemoselective tetrazine-thiol exchange in a traceless manner. The byproduct, methanethiol, is easily eliminated during the course of the reaction, thus avoiding the use of a toxic catalyst. Additionally, the same end group allows for further functionalization via inverse electron demand Diels-Alder chemistry using
