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

Crystalline supramolecular polymers (CSPs), unlike conventional supramolecular polymers in soft-matter phases, possess ordered polymeric structures for establishing structure-function relationships. However, most reported CSPs lack the dynamic and responsive characteristics intrinsic to supramolecular polymers due to their dense molecular packing. Herein, we report a highly dynamic CSP (CSP-1) via a unique solid-vapor host-guest-driven synthetic strategy, which integrates solid-vapor host-guest-driven condensation, host-guest-driven supramolecular polymerization, and crystallization of polymeric chains into a single step. The polymeric chains in CSP-1 can exist both in the crystalline state and after dissolution in non-competitive solvents. Additionally, CSP-1 exhibits remarkable multi-responsiveness to physical and chemical stimuli, enabling reversible in situ transformations between CSP-1 and various non-polymeric crystalline structures. In contrast to the heat-induced depolymerization typically observed in soft-matter supramolecular polymers, heating enables disassembled macrocycle monomers to reassemble into the thermodynamically stable CSP-1, resembling an annealing process in conventional polymers.
