Motion matters: the role of milling ball trajectories in mechanochemical reactions.
Article in RSC mechanochemistry, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Mechanochemistry has become a powerful and sustainable approach in synthetic chemistry, yet the fundamental principles governing energy transfer during milling remain poorly understood. In particular, the trajectory of the milling ball has been largely overlooked in mechanistic studies. To address this, we employed high-speed recordings to precisely track ball motion, enabling accurate calculation of kinetic energies and their comparison with theoretical values. The use of hollow and solid balls of varying sizes further allowed us to disentangle the effects of altered trajectories in both the Finkelstein reaction and the direct mechanocatalyzed Suzuki coupling. This work underscores the critical importance of milling ball trajectory in mechanochemistry and highlights the need to consider this parameter in future mechanistic studies and in the development of optimized milling protocols.
