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

Controlling reactivity using light remains an important goal in chemistry. Since acid-base reactions are central to nearly all chemical phenomena, photoacids are important molecules for controlling reactivity. Conventional photoacids release protons upon excitation or generate a Lewis acid through light-induced structural changes. Here, we report a conceptually different mechanism of Lewis photoacidity that leverages the excited-state mechanisms of a Brønsted photoacid. It is well known that the Brønsted photoacid 2-naphthol releases a proton upon light absorption and converts to 2-naphtholate. We show that 2-naphtholate binds the Lewis-acidic CO
