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 efficient conversion of solar energy into chemicals is fundamentally limited by the rapid, random recombination of photogenerated charges and strong exciton binding in semiconductors. We transcend incremental catalyst optimization by introducing a universal molecular design strategy "simultaneous geometric and electronic symmetry breaking" in covalent organic frameworks that intrinsically programs directional charge flow. Our strategy of replacing symmetric benzene units with asymmetric thiophene rings induces cooperative point-group distortion and asymmetric electron density redistribution, thereby creating a built-in polarization field that slashes exciton binding energy, extends carrier lifetime by over 300%, and steers reaction selectivity. This leads to a record photocatalytic H
