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

The two-coordinate [(CAAC)2Fe] complex [CAAC = cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene] binds dinitrogen at low temperature (T<-80 °C). The resulting putative three-coordinate N2 complex, [(CAAC)2Fe(N2)], was trapped by one-electron reduction to its corresponding anion [(CAAC)2FeN2](-) at low temperature. This complex was structurally characterized and features an activated dinitrogen unit which can be silylated at the β-nitrogen atom. The redox-linked complexes [(CAAC)2Fe(I)][BAr(F)4], [(CAAC)2Fe(0)], and [(CAAC)2Fe(-I)N2](-) were all found to be active for the reduction of dinitrogen to ammonia upon treatment with KC8 and HBAr(F)4⋅2 Et2O at -95 °C [up to (3.4±1.0) equivalents of ammonia per Fe center]. The N2 reduction activity is highly temperature dependent, with significant N2 reduction to NH3 only occurring below -78 °C. This reactivity profile tracks with the low temperatures needed for N2 binding and an otherwise unavailable electron-transfer step to generate reactive [(CAAC)2FeN2](-) .
