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

Wide applications of per-/poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in manufacturing fluorinated-polymer coatings and products pose serious health and environmental threats due to their highly chemical robustness. The development of efficient sensors for detecting persistent organic pollutants is thus essential. In this study, we present the supramolecular assemblies of multinuclear platinum(ii) complexes, which demonstrate the capability to detect and extract perfluorohexanoic acid (PFHxA) in deionized water. These platinum(ii) complexes have exhibited remarkable photophysical properties and supramolecular self-assembly in mixed organic solvents, driven by Pt(ii)⋯Pt(ii) and π-π stacking interactions, to form two-dimensional supramolecular polymers with hexagonal and rectangular packing, manifested as sheet-like nanostructures. Specifically, the dynamic association of PFASs with the resulting nanosheets formed by platinum(ii) complexes induces significant changes in the UV-vis absorption and emission spectra. Mechanistic studies, supported by molecular dynamics simulations, suggest that these pronounced spectroscopic changes are induced by the strong interactions of PFASs with platinum(ii) complexes and the surrounding solvent molecules. By means of liquid-phase extraction, we have demonstrated the innovative use of platinum(ii) supramolecular polymer networks for proof-of-concept detection and extraction of PFHxA in deionized water. This work provides important insights into the fundamental molecular design principles that are crucial for the future development of novel supramolecular functional materials.
