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

The precise synthesis of helical graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) with a controlled handedness represents a significant advance toward chiral carbon materials. We now report the synthesis of a dynamic helical poly[4]helicene nanoribbon, a class of helical GNRs, entirely composed of configurationally labile [4]helicene subunits, which has been achieved through the quantitative intramolecular multifold cyclization of the nonhelical precursor polymer. The [4]helicene repeating units of the poly[4]helicene nanoribbon are mechanically coupled to each other, leading to correlated helicity inversion dynamics along the highly constrained ladder framework and thereby providing an equal mixture of an interconvertible long sequence of right (P)- and left (M)-handed helical [4]helicene subunits. Therefore, in an optically-active solvent, a fully (P)- or (M)-helical poly[4]helicene nanoribbon consisting of homochiral (P)- or (M)-[4]helicene subunits can be induced in a highly-cooperative manner, showing a right- or left-handed circularly polarized luminescence, respectively, which can be switched.
