The role of shape and interaction directionality in the crystalline phase behaviour of octahedral metal-organic cages.
Article in Nature communications, 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
Despite advances in crystal engineering, predicting the packing of metal-containing molecules remains a significant challenge due to their increased structural complexity and computational cost relative to purely organic compounds. Yet, predicting solid-state structures is critical for understanding structureproperty relationships, particularly in modular porous systems such as metal-organic cages (MOCs), where packing governs access to the internal pores and thereby impacts functionality. Here, we present a computationally inexpensive methodology that combines semi-empirical dimer calculations with coarse-grained modelling to predict the packing behaviour of MOCs. This approach enables a priori prediction of the solid state and allows insight into how molecular shape and intermolecular interactions influence the crystalline phase behaviour of MOCs. Our findings provide a foundation for the rational design of MOCs with tailored solid-state structures and properties.
