Material Preparation Information File (MPIF): A Community-Driven Standard for Reporting MOF Syntheses.
Article in Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The rapid growth of research on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and related porous materials has highlighted a critical need for standardized reporting of synthetic procedures and material properties. Synthesis consistency is often compromised by incomplete protocols and inconsistent nomenclature, with even well-established MOFs exhibiting substantial variability depending on subtle and frequently unreported factors. To address this critical challenge, we introduce the Material Preparation Information File (MPIF), a modular, machine- and human-readable format for documenting synthesis protocols alongside key characterization data. Built on the Self-defining Text Archive and Retrieval (STAR) file architecture, MPIF consolidates essential information, including reagents, conditions, equipment, and handling procedures-into a structured format that supports both digital processing and practical laboratory use. To streamline MPIF creation and editing, a web-based interface has been developed (mpif.jackdevans.com). By aligning with existing standards such as CIF and AIF, MPIF enables integration with databases, promotes FAIR data principles, and provides a foundation for data-driven materials discovery, informatics, and automation. We envision MPIF becoming a community-wide standard for transparent and consistent reporting of MOF and related material syntheses.
