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 mechanochemical dissociation of rotaxanes has been used in the design of materials with the ability to dissipate energy and of force-controlled release systems. The former takes advantage of the dissociation by dethreading, a noncovalent process in which the macrocycle is forced over a stopper, while in the latter, the forceful contact between the macrocycle and stopper provokes the rupture of a covalent bond and release of the stoppering unit. As the dissociation pathway is dictated by the relative size of the macrocycle and the stopper, a rotaxane under tension can usually only undergo one of these two pathways. However, the ability to control the mechanochemical reactivity of a rotaxane in situ would allow the creation of multiresponsive materials. Here, we show how to selectively access unstoppering and dethreading pathways from the same rotaxane structure by respectively keeping or removing a single Pd atom to alter the size of the cavity of the macrocycle in a rotaxane built around a Pd
