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

The design and characterization of a novel class of overcrowded alkene-based photo/redox switches are presented. Folded and twisted tetrasubstituted alkenes are prepared in a modular fashion by the combination of quinolinium salts and stable carbenes. The compounds show multi-stimuli responsive properties: besides electrochemical redox-switching, which allows C─C bond rotation via a two-electron redox process, non-symmetrical compounds enable photochemically driven E/Z-switching. The different oxidation states can be isolated and fully characterized including structural changes verified by x-ray diffraction. Excellent photostability for E/Z-switching was observed in selected cases and is supported by UV-vis, NMR, and x-ray data as well as computations. TD-DFT calculations accurately predict the absorption properties of the E/Z-photo-switches and the substituent effects governing photo-stationary states and half-lifes. While the thermal E/Z-back-switching proceeds via a rather high energy barrier featuring a diradical transition state, electrochemical switching via the radical cation oxidation state allows instantaneous E/Z-isomerization, which is catalytic in electrons (electron hole catalysis). The mechanism of the switching process is supported in detail by quantum chemical calculations including nonadiabatic molecular dynamics simulations.
