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

Low transition temperature mixtures (LTTMs) formed via typical hydrogen bonds hold significant potential in diverse applications. However, constructing π-rich LTTMs composed entirely of aromatic components is rare. In this work, we report a series of π-LTTMs using phenols and aromatic ketones. The rigid skeletons of aromatic planes introduce steric congestion that enhances molecular free volume, yielding low viscosities. They show viscosities as low as 2.12 cP, which is among the lowest values of LTTMs. The phase transition temperature is showed as -73.5 °C, which is low level within the LTTM family. These π-LTTMs allow for fast mass transportation rate, potentially behaving as media for reaction and self-assembly. Owing to their low phase transition temperature and pronounced tendency toward supercooling, these systems form room-temperature liquids over extremely broad composition ranges. Over a wide ratio of components, widely tunable polarity is realized, which greatly expands the feasibility in synthesizing of chiral nanomaterials. The π-liquids accelerate one-dimensional growth and enable expression of macroscopic chirality for a chiral amide-based building block.
