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

The confinement effect is increasingly recognized as a critical factor influencing guest-framework interactions in molecular sieves, yet its impact on adsorption kinetics remains largely unexplored. Conventional ensemble measurements on milligram-scale particle assemblies yield apparent adsorption kinetics that conflate dynamic molecular interactions with macroscopic mass transport. Here, we present an optical imaging approach that quantitatively monitors interaction-dominated adsorption by reducing the sample size to the single-nanoparticle level (sub-picogram scale). The results enable the determination of intrinsic rate constants and activation energy barriers for elementary adsorption and desorption steps. A confinement-induced reversal of adsorption kinetics, relative to proton affinities, is observed among homologous light olefins on the same ZSM-5 nanoparticle. This finding reveals that confinement-rather than interaction strength-primarily governs adsorption kinetics at the single-nanoparticle level and provides a general platform for probing and rationally designing molecular sieves for diverse applications.
