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

Skeletal rearrangement reaction is a class of important chemical reactions to synthesize various constitutional isomers from a given precursor molecule. This approach allows the synthesis of diverse nanographenes incorporating five- and seven-membered rings, thereby tuning their chemical and physical properties. Here, we present formation of five types of closed-shell and two types of open-shell nanographenes on Au(111) via carbon rearrangements of 7-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-12-[10-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)anthracen-9-yl]tetraphene. The structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of various products composed of pentagonal or pentagonal/heptagonal rings were in-detail investigated with a combination of bond-resolved scanning tunneling microscopy/scanning tunneling spectroscopy at 4.3 K and density functional theory calculations. We found that both zigzag edges and fused pentagonal rings significantly affect the band gap and the spin polarization. This discovery could facilitate the on-surface synthesis of intriguing carbon nanostructures through skeletal rearrangement.
