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

Birefringent crystals are essential optical materials for modulating and detecting the polarization state of light. However, achieving large optical anisotropy remains a significant challenge, mainly because it is difficult to rationally align anisotropic fundamental building blocks (FBBs) to maximize their collective contribution. Here, we propose a halogen-bond (XB) coupled halogenated-π-conjugation strategy. Using hydrogen-bonded pyridinedicarboxylic acid as a template, we synthesized XOF-1, Hybrid-XOF-1, and XB-HOF-1 through decarboxylation-halogenation reactions. All three compounds are built from 0D halogen-bonded FBBs and extended by halogen and/or hydrogen bonds. Notably, all three compounds exhibit large birefringence (0.69-0.97), with XB-HOF-1 reaching Δn = 0.97 @ 546 nm, over 80 times that of the commercial benchmark MgF
