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

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are most commonly synthesized in toxic formamide solvents. Though some progress has been made for certain classes, zinc carboxylate MOFs are particularly reliant on formamide solvents. Transitioning away from these solvents is difficult because they serve multifaceted roles in MOF formation chemistry and phase direction. Herein, the synthetic factors required for the effective removal of formamide solvents across various classes of MOFs are investigated. Complete formamide removal is achieved for IRMOF-5, IRMOF-3, HKUST-1, and Zn-MOF-74. The function of formamide solvents in MOF synthesis is replicated using a system comprising tetrahydrofuran (THF) and a base additive. When designing MOF syntheses without formamide solvents, the solubility of both the organic linker and metal salt, along with the use of a base possessing sufficient pKa to deprotonate multitopic linkers, emerge as critical determinants of successful MOF formation. These insights provide a foundation for designing new sustainable MOF syntheses.
