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

Thiophenyl circulenes, known as sulflowers, are considered potentially valuable candidates for the development of organic electronic devices. However, their usefulness as semiconducting materials is limited by their poor solubility in organic solvents. In this work, we attempt to overcome this limitation by partially replacing sulfur with nitrogen, which can be easily functionalized. The resulting compounds, namely sym-azathio circulenes, are characterized computationally. The values of selected structural and electronic descriptors compare satisfactorily with those of [8]-sulflower, showing similar trends. In particular, our ab initio calculations suggest that sym-azathio[5]-circulene preferentially behaves as a p-type semiconductor. Molecular dynamics simulations, performed on its otcyl derivative in solution and in the bulk, support the conclusion that sym-azathio circulenes may potentially provide molecular precursors for the development of solution-processable semiconductors.
