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

Accessing structurally well-defined polymer polymorphs remains extremely challenging because obtaining polymer single crystals suitable for atomic-level structural characterization is rare. Here we report an unusual sequence of single-crystal transformations in which a peptide monomer designed for topochemical azide-alkyne cycloaddition (TAAC) undergoes spontaneous single-crystal-to-single-crystal (SCSC) polymerization to form a 1,4-triazolyl-linked polymer, despite a crystal packing seemingly predisposed for the formation of a 1,5-linked product. Structural and computational analyses reveal that large-amplitude rotations of the azide and alkyne groups enable the unexpected regioselectivity. Prolonged heating subsequently triggers a rare SCSC polymorphic transition of the polymer crystal, generating a second conformational polymorph with distinct chain packing and mechanical properties. These results demonstrate that sequential single-crystal transformations can provide controlled access to polymer polymorphs from a single monomer crystal.
