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 crystalline sponge (CS) method has expanded the capabilities of single crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) chemical structure determination and analysis to liquid or oily compounds. Guest molecules encapsulated within the porous metal-organic framework (MOF) have variable intermolecular interaction strengths, both with the pore and other guest molecules, and often exhibit multiple molecular conformations. Quantification and understanding of these features has previously proved challenging and thus limited the insights available from structural models. Through combination of the CS method, conventional SCXRD, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy, single-molecule and periodic DFT, and energy calculations based on electron density, we determine intra- and intermolecular energy changes across a spectrum of physical environments. We explore the MOF pore environment experienced by a systematic family of small organic molecules and showcase the tools available for quantification of these complex systems.
