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

Polar molecule-based magnetic materials capable of multistate switching have garnered significant interest for their potential applications in next-generation memory devices, sensors, and energy conversion. Among such materials, Prussian blue analogs that exhibit electron transfer-coupled spin transition (ETCST) behavior stand out due to their unique switching properties. In this study, we report a trinuclear cyanide-bridged FeCo compound (1) that exhibits photo- and thermo-induced ferroelectric phase transition via ETCST mechanism. Notably, this FeCo complex also demonstrates a quenching effect, whereby a non-polar state is trapped as a metastable state at low temperature, allowing the polarization control via the cooling rate variations. In addition, reversible single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformation via the desorption and absorption of solvent molecules are observed. The EtOH-removed FeCo compound (1') loses its ferroelectricity, revealing that the ferroelectric phase transition can be modulated by dynamic desorption/adsorption of the guest molecule. These findings advance the design of functional ferroelectric materials with multistate switching capabilities, offering potential for future applications in contactless memory devices and beyond.
