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 interplay between π-electron conjugation and molecular geometry has been a central focus in the development of modern hydrocarbon research. Herein, we report the on-surface synthesis and characterization of the nonplanar, π-extended, nitrogen-doped quintulene C85N5 on a Au(111) surface. The as-synthesized C85N5 adopts a convex geometry, which can be inverted to a concave geometry by single-molecule manipulation. In its convex conformation, C85N5 may coordinate a gold atom within its central pore, forming an Au-C85N5 complex through interactions with the pyridinic nitrogen atoms. The structures and electronic properties of these cycloarenes are elucidated by noncontact atomic force microscopy (nc-AFM), scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy (STM/STS), and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Our results highlight that on-surface synthesis enables the atomically precise generation of curved (hetero)nanographenes and their metal complexes. Despite the inherent challenges of the nonplanar π-system, both geometric and electronic features can be characterized in detail, and controlled manipulation by scanning probe techniques is feasible.
