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 electrochemically generated carbocations are pivotal yet elusive intermediates in electrosynthesis. By coupling nanoelectrospray ionization with a tip-confined electrochemical microreactor, the ultrafast transfer of the electrogenerated species into the charged microdroplets is achieved. Interestingly, the highly reactive carbocations become abnormally inert in the electrosprayed microdroplets, and made a survival throughout the entire lifespans of the microdroplets. By taking full advantage of the newfangled stabilizing effect of the microdroplets, the direct mass spectrometric identification of the electrogenerated transient benzylic and phenylic carbocations, whose half-lives in bulk solutions are on the nanosecond level is achieved. The detailed paths of the carbocation-driven C(sp
