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

Fluoroarenes persist in aquatic environments because aromatic delocalization and aqueous speciation suppress selective C-F bond cleavage, limiting both reductive activation and direct hole oxidation. Hydroxyl radicals (·OH) can mineralize these contaminants, yet near-neutral·OH generation typically relies on added oxidants or Fenton chemistry, creating chemical demand and secondary residues. Here we report a carboxyl-functionalized crystalline perylene diimide photocatalyst (Carboxyl-PDI) that produces ·OH via a catalytic carboxyl-peroxyacid cycle under visible light. Carboxyl-PDI delivers a 50.94% apparent quantum yield for ·OH at 600 nm, achieves complete defluorination of 100 mg L
