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

Terpenes are unfunctionalized small volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are naturally abundant, relevant to climate change, and impose potential health risks. Herein, we report a conceptually novel approach for the enantiospecific recognition of terpenes and other VOCs based on a square planar platinum(II) complex with an atropisomeric ligand. This molecular design results in chiral aggregated nanostructures caused by weak π-π- and metal-metal interactions with characteristic UV-vis absorption bands. Distinct UV-vis absorption changes are induced by weak intermolecular interactions with the enantiomers of diverse VOCs (2-butanol, 1-phenylethanol, α-pinene, and limonene) leading to perturbations of the chiral aggregates. This allows an enantiospecific, reversible detection of VOCs by UV-vis absorption spectroscopy in nonpolar solution. The study provides a new working principle for enantiospecific recognition with artificial optoelectronic noses, which are particularly promising for determining the enantiomers of unfunctionalized volatile organics.
