Depolymerization-Induced Morphological Transformation.
Article in Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Depolymerization offers a powerful route for the chemical recycling of vinyl polymers. However, current strategies focus almost exclusively on monomer recovery, which overlooks broader applications and opportunities. Herein, depolymerization-induced morphological transformation (DIMT) is introduced as a modular methodology to control the shape of sterically stabilized diblock copolymer nanoparticles and gain mechanistic insight into morphological transformations that occur during selective degradation of the methacrylic core-forming block. Notably, DIMT results in a sequential evolution in copolymer morphology from vesicles to worms to spheres. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) studies enabled the construction of a predictive (pseudo)phase diagram. Furthermore, this new approach was also applied to the irreversible degelation of diblock copolymer worm gels, highlighting new opportunities to regulate material properties through depolymerization.
