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

In photoredox reactions, charge recombination (CR) limits quantum yields, hindering the efficient conversion of light energy into catalytic activity. To address this, we drew inspiration from redox relays in photosystem II (PSII) and developed a new series of iridium-(III) complexes featuring covalently attached benzimidazole-phenol-pyridine (BIP-Py) groups to facilitate intramolecular multiproton-coupled electron transfer (MPCET). Herein, we evaluate the effects of MPCET through an extended and well-defined hydrogen-bond network to improve photocatalytic activity and mitigate rapid charge recombination. Infrared spectroelectrochemistry reveals pyridine protonation upon phenol oxidation, while visible spectroelectrochemistry and transient absorption spectroscopy confirm the electro- and photochemical formation of charge-separated states (CSS) involving oxidized BIP, resulting from intramolecular proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET). The application of the BIP-Py platform in a photocatalytic
