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

This protocol describes a method for the laboratory synthesis of enantiomerically enriched, chiral tetrahydroisoquinolines through the application of a chiral sulfinamido urea catalyst for the Povarov reaction. Tetrahydroisoquinolines are bicyclic organic frameworks present in a wide assortment of natural and synthetic biologically important compounds including martinelline, scoulerine and tubocurarine. The methodology involves the [4+2] cycloaddition of a N-arylimines with electron-rich olefins such as vinyl lactams and dihydropyrroles in the presence of a two-catalyst system consisting of an achiral strong Brønsted acid (o-nitrobenzenesulfonic acid), together with the chiral sulfinamido urea derivative 1. The anion-binding properties of the urea lead to the association of the ion pair that results from protonation of the imine substrate. Cycloaddition is followed by spontaneous proton loss with re-aromatization to provide the tetrahydroisoquinoline products in highly enantio-enriched form.
