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

Aromaticity is one of the most important concepts in organic chemistry. There are cases in which a molecule undergoes changes to increase its aromaticity. This higher aromaticity comes with an energetic gain and is commonly referred to as aromatic stabilization. Previously, it has been reported that some molecules undergo such a stabilization when adsorbing on a surface, which has been identified as the reason for charge transfer into the molecular π-system. Utilizing photoemission orbital tomography and density functional theory, we investigate changes in the molecular π-system upon adsorption and elucidate the influence on the aromaticity. We demonstrate how the energetic gain from an aromatic stabilization on surfaces can be outweighed by hybridization. Uncovering a mechanism in which the molecular π-system forms dative bonds with the surface, our study reveals that the concept of aromatic stabilization on surfaces has been incomplete so far.
