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

We investigated the adsorption and aggregation properties of 2,13-bis(hydroxymethyl)-[7]thiaheterohelicene ([7]TH-diol) on the Ag(111) surface by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. STM observation revealed that both racemic and enantiopure [7]TH-diol formed apparently similar "zigzag" chain structures. To elucidate the molecular arrangements in these structures, MD simulation successfully differentiates the formation mechanisms of these structures, demonstrating that hetero-chiral chains are stabilized primarily by van der Waals forces, whereas homo-chiral chains are stabilized through hydrogen bonding. The formation of homo-chiral chains is driven by the alignment of hydroxymethyl groups between the neighboring molecules, whereas the steric hindrance of helical skeletons affects chain growth. These findings highlight the critical role of inter-molecular interactions-particularly hydrogen bonding-in the self-assembly of helicene molecules.
