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 present that halogen-substituted and air-stable Thiele-type diradicaloids with folded (1) and planar (2, 3) structures can be obtained by switching the positions of fluorine and chlorine substituents. The strongly distorted p-quinodimethane 1 demonstrates emission in the UV-visible/near-infrared (UV-vis/NIR) range with a photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 100%, an exceedingly large Stokes shift of up to 2.0 eV, an excited state lifetime of 81 ns, and pronounced solvatochromic emission (from 1.81 eV in n-pentane to approximately 2.0 eV in dichloromethane). Dual emission in pentane, transient absorption spectroscopy, quantum chemical calculations, as well as the comparison with compounds 2 and 3 reveal that the exceptional photophysical properties of closed-shell 1 are thanks to interconversion with its planar conformer 1
