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

This tutorial serves as an accessible introduction for researchers and students interested in the multifaceted chemistry of formaldehyde and its potential in shaping a more sustainable future. We explore its roles in renewable energy storage in the form of liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs) and renewable fuels, as well as carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS), and biomass valorisation. Furthermore, the relevance of these applications to several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs 6, 7, 9, 12, and 13) is examined. Beyond the energy and environmental aspects, we discuss the use of formaldehyde and related surrogates in synthetic chemistry, focusing on innovative catalytic strategies to make use of this versatile and abundant C1 building block. Given formaldehyde's central role as an intermediate in both synthetic and biological C1-H
