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

N,N-chelating ligands disfavor element-element bonding in heavier alkene analogs of group 13 and group 14 elements. Here, we present a series of group 14 element(II) compounds of a new sterically demanding iminophosphorane-based scorpionate ligand. The molecular structures of the Si and Ge analogs form element-element bonded interactions in the solid state in a head-to-head fashion, whereas the Sn and Pb analogs form one-dimensional coordination polymers in a head-to-tail fashion. Analysis of the Si─Si bonding by experimental, for example, X-ray diffraction, and computational methods suggests that a significant unsupported bonding interaction is present and enabled by the ligand that can be easily perturbed by the ligand sterics, including dispersion, and broken by entropic effects.
