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

Supramolecular gels, characterized by reversibility, stimuli responsiveness, and high surface area, represent a promising class of materials in catalysis. In this work, we explored the possibility to obtain supramolecular melamine/amino acid-based eutectogels, and we tested them as heterogeneous catalysts for the aldol reaction between p-nitrobenzaldehyde and cyclohexanone. Gels were characterized by determining the critical gelation concentration and gel-sol transition temperature. Mechanical features of soft materials were assessed performing strain and frequency sweep measurements, and their self-sustaining properties were also investigated. Morphology of gel phases was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy. Resonance light scattering investigation was carried out to study gelation process and to investigate the size of aggregates featuring gel phases. Fluorescent behavior in gel phase and in solution was also studied, suggesting that gel formation was driven by an aggregation enhanced emission (AEE) process. Performing the aldol reaction, the experimental conditions were optimized in terms of reaction time, temperature and amount of catalyst. Under the best experimental conditions, we obtained 73% of yield and 76-24 anti/syn diasteroisomeric ratio with 75% of enantiomeric excess
