An isolable germa-isonitrile featuring a terminal nitrogen-germanium triple bond.
Article in Nature chemistry, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Isonitriles (R-N≡C), first discovered by Lieke in 1859, are well-established functional molecules in organic and organometallic chemistry. By contrast, the synthesis and investigation of tetrela-isonitriles (R-N≡E, E = Si, Ge, Sn or Pb), their heavier group 14 analogues, remain challenging due to their high reactivity. The characterization of such species has largely relied on spectroscopic data collected at cryogenic temperatures or under gas-phase conditions. Here we report the synthesis and characterization of a germa-isonitrile (Ar-N≡Ge) stabilized by a bulky aryl ligand. This compound, which features a terminal N≡Ge triple bond with a Ge‒N bond length of 1.6395(19) Å, has been characterized through X-ray crystallographic, solid-state ¹⁵N nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic and computational studies. The highly polarized N≡Ge moiety exhibits versatile reactivity towards organic substrates and transition metal precursors, underscoring its potential use in synthetic chemistry.
