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 polymerization of alkynes has long been a cornerstone of materials science, yielding a plethora of π-bond-rich materials and underpinning the 2000 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. While 1,2-polymerization of alkynes via 1,2-addition has been extensively studied, the 1,1-polymerization of carbon carbon triple bonds remains a formidable challenge due to the necessity of an alkyne rearrangement step during polymerization. Here we report the 1,1-polymerization of acetylene gas through a Cd-catalyzed iterative 1,1-carboboration process, achieving a broad terminal functionalization scope and functional group compatibility. This product, 1,1-polyacetylene (1,1-PA), also named as dendralene, exhibits unique physical and chemical properties, including an explosive tendency, distinguishing it from the 1,2-polyacetylene (1,2-PA) counterparts.
