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

In recent years, methylene-bridged macrocycles have emerged as versatile scaffolds in supramolecular architecture, owing to their intrinsically defined cavities, facile functionalization, and sophisticated host-guest recognition motifs. The strategic engineering of macrocyclic frameworks with tailored functionalities remains a cornerstone of synthetic supramolecular chemistry. In particular, the precise incorporation of heteroatoms-such as sulfur, nitrogen, or oxygen-into these backbones effectively modulates their cavity microenvironments, conformational landscapes, and electronic states. Such modifications impart unique physicochemical properties and binding affinities that transcend those of traditional hydrocarbon macrocycles. This review focuses on the burgeoning field of sulfur-containing macrocycles, providing a systematic overview of their rational design principles, atom-economic synthesis, and multifaceted applications in recognition, separation, and materials science. Finally, we delineate the remaining challenges and future prospects to provide a comprehensive roadmap for the development of the next generation of functional macrocyclic hosts.
