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

FLPClusters, which are structurally precise metal clusters incorporating Frustrated Lewis Pairs (FLPs), represent a promising class of FLP catalysts. Although FLPClusters have emerged only recently, their precise and strategic synthesis remains underdeveloped. Herein, we report the approach for the strategic synthesis of FLPClusters featuring well-defined, tailorable, and accessible FLP active sites. Our approach utilizes bis(2-(diphenylphosphino)phenyl)ether (DPEphos) as a rigid surface ligand. The two phosphine termini of DPEphos bridge adjacent metal atoms, while the central ether oxygen atom (Lewis base) is geometrically constrained, enabling the formation of stable FLPs with copper atoms (Lewis acid) on the cluster surface. By modulating the structure of ancillary thiolate ligands, we successfully synthesized three FLPClusters. These FLPClusters demonstrate high catalytic activity in the hydrolytic oxidation of organosilanes to silanols. Both theoretical and experimental studies confirm that the catalysis is FLP-driven. Crucially, their catalytic performance scales with the number of FLP sites present.
