Covalent Borane-Thiourea Organocatalyst for Stereoselective Ring-Opening Polymerization.
Article in Angewandte Chemie (International ed. in English), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
While the chemistry of ring-opening polymerization has advanced significantly to alleviate the escalating plastic waste crisis, highly selective and efficient catalysts to synthesize chemically recyclable, high-performance polythioesters remain needed. Typical ring-opening catalysts, however, face an intrinsic stereochemical challenge: unavoidable monomer racemization due to elevated α-hydrogen acidity, which severely hampers the synthesis of highly tactic crystalline materials and diminishes the performance of the resulting plastics. Here, we report the design and synthesis of a covalent borane-thiourea organocatalyst for the stereoselective ring-opening polymerization of enantiopure dithiolactones. Through incorporation of a strongly Lewis acidic 9-borafluorene moiety, this metal-free system effectively reduces the basicity of propagating thiolate chain ends while enabling thiourea-mediated monomer activation, thereby ensuring rapid polymerization with minimal racemization. Consequently, this approach affords polythioesters with near-perfect isotacticity (P
