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
Separating o-xylene from all C8 aromatic isomers (m-xylene, p-xylene, and ethylbenzene) is critical for industry but remains a formidable challenge due to their quite similar physicochemical properties. While metal-free frameworks offer an ideal solution via selective adsorption, their development lags behind metal-based systems. For instance, due to the limited connection modes and lack of suitable linkers, B←N frameworks (BNFs) struggle to handle complex separations. To address this limitation, we report a programmed assembly strategy by rationally integrating secondary connectivity into bridging linkers. Implementing this strategy yielded stable BNFs, BN-DPTA1 and BN-DPTA2, featuring tunable and confined cavities. BN-DPTA1 exhibits specific abstraction of toluene, while BN-DPTA2 selectively adsorbs o-xylene from benzene derivatives. Notably, BN-DPTA2 represents the first metal-free framework to achieve highly selective adsorption of o-xylene over all C8 aromatic isomers. The multiple non-covalent interactions between the BNF cavities and guest molecules facilitate tight encapsulation, enabling the effective removal of toluene and o-xylene from the atmosphere (97.4% and 96.0% removal efficiency at 50 ppm, respectively). The dynamic, reversible adsorption/desorption behavior of BNFs allows for single-step purification of toluene and o-xylene via solid-phase extraction columns, achieving purities exceeding 99.9%.
