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

Soft polymorphic materials, such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs), often display distinct anisotropy. Yet, their phase transition behavior has been predominantly characterized under isotropic stimuli, such as temperature or pressure variations, up to now. In this work, we employed the Cauchystat to investigate how MIL-53-(Al) and COF-5, two prototypical soft porous crystals, respond to anisotropic stresses instead. For MIL-53-(Al), we showed that normal stresses induce a phase transition already at stresses below the critical hydrostatic pressure, depending on the directionality of the applied stress. For COF-5, we determined the critical shear stress needed to induce a layer instability, leading to delamination. In both cases, we highlighted the importance of selecting adequate values of the Cauchystat control parameters to obtain accurate predictions. Based on these insights, we formulated best practices to simulate phase transitions in soft porous crystals under nonhydrostatic loadings, which is required for, e.g., nanosensors and -dampers.
