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

Reversible-deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP) is a cornerstone of polymer industry. Normally, RDRPs are highly sensitive to oxygen and inhibitors, which hamper their industrial applications. Present methods cannot achieve facile polymerization in presence of both oxygen and inhibitors, particularly for large-scale production. Herein, we present phenanthroline-based conjugated hypercrosslinked polymer (Phen-CHCP) that serves as an efficient photocatalyst for photoinduced copper-catalyzed atom transfer radical polymerization (Cu-ATRP), exhibiting high tolerance toward oxygen and common polymerization inhibitors. Investigation indicated that heterogeneous nature enables the fast and direct initiator activation in the presence of photoexcited Phen-CHCP, not only accelerating the Cu-catalyzed redox cycle but also stabilizing the phenol inhibitor. As a result, various monomers achieved >95% conversions under broadband lights irradiation. This development strongly encourages large-scale in situ copolymerization and synthesized poly((2-methoxyethyl) acrylate-block-n-butyl acrylate) at 20 L scale (conversion 96%, Đ = 1.26), which highlights the strong potential for industrial applications.
