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

Herein, we report a metal-metal interaction-driven strategy for constructing extended tin chains without relying on preorganized ligand frameworks. By combining a nucleophilic Sn(I) distannyne supported by a sterically undemanding dipyridylpyrrolate ligand with a neutral yet highly Lewis-acidic Sn(II) synthon, stepwise chain growth from di- to tri- and ultimately to a linear penta-tin complex was achieved. Multinuclear NMR, UV-vis, Raman, and X-ray absorption spectroscopies, together with elemental analysis, establish the structures and mixed-valence nature of the tri- and penta-tin complexes. Complementary density functional theory (DFT) calculations support these assignments by identifying the centrally located Sn(II) motif as the thermodynamically preferred arrangement and rationalizing the observed spectroscopic trends.
