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

Stereoselective polymerization has long been a central research focus in polymer science because tacticity plays a crucial role in regulating the physical properties and functions of vinyl polymers. However, synthetic strategies that enable control over both isotacticity and syndiotacticity remain limited. Herein, we report an impact of an intramolecular non-classical hydrogen bond between the vinyl and pendant groups in the monomer on tacticity-controlled polymerization. A vinylboron monomer, in which the boron atom is protected by an anthranilamide bearing a tetrahydrofuran (THF) ring with a chiral center, undergoes syndio-specific polymerization, and the subsequent oxidation of the polymer side chains afforded syndiotactic poly(vinyl alcohol)s (PVAs, rr: up to 63%). Computational studies suggest the hydrogen bond between vinyl proton and oxygen in the THF ring plays a key role in syndiotactic regulation. The interpretation is further supported by a contrasting result obtained by replacing the oxygen atom in the THF ring with a methylene group, which leads to the formation of isotactic PVA (mm: 71%).
