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

Poly(phenylenevinylene)s (PPV)s are a class of fluorescent conjugated polymers used in organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). Living chain growth polymerization of PPVs is typically achieved by ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of highly strained cyclophanedienes. While benzene-based cyclophanedienes are routinely reported, living or controlled ROMP of naphthalene-benzene containing mixed cyclophanedienes remains a challenge. This work describes the synthesis and polymerization of an alkoxy substituted naphthalene-benzene cyclophanediene using Schrock's molybdenum olefin metathesis catalyst. We demonstrate the efficacy of this strategy in producing poly(naphthalene benzene vinylene) (PNBV)s with controlled molecular weights and narrow dispersities. The produced PNBVs are highly fluorescent polymers in solution and as thin films with distinct emission signatures arising from the benzene and naphthalene chromophores. An unoptimized PNBV thin film transistor exhibited a hole mobility of 8 × 10
