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

We report on the synthesis of surface-active azobenzene-based surface-active ionic liquids (AzoSAILs) with tunable and photoswitchable physicochemical properties. The reversible isomerization between the trans- and the cis-form was studied in different solvents and concentration by spectroscopic methods. The potential of ionic AzoSAILs as light-controllable epoxidation catalysts was studied regarding their catalytic activity and switchable micelle formation in aqueous media. Zwitterionic AzoSAILs were investigated regarding their unprecedented light-controlled solubility, surface-activity in aqueous media and potential application in biphasic epoxidations. Additional valuable insight into the photoisomerizations is provided by computational studies.
