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

Metallabenzenes have attracted considerable interest of both theoretical and experimental chemists. However, metallaphosphabenzene has never been synthesized. Thus, understanding the origin of the challenge of synthesizing metallaphosphabenzene is particularly urgent for experimentalists. Now density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been carried out to examine this issue. Our results reveal that the 1,2-migration in metallapyridines is unfavorable whereas such a 1,2-migration in metallaphosphabenzenes is feasible, which can be rationalized by the reluctance of phosphorus to participate in π bonding. In addition, π-donor ligands and the 5d transition metals can stabilize metallaphosphabenzenes. Compared with hydride and methyl migration, the chloride migration has a relatively lower activation barrier due to the polarization of the M=P bond. CO ligand could further decrease the reaction barrier of the migration due to the reduction of the interaction between the metal centre and the phosphorus atom. All of these findings could help synthetic chemists to realize the first metallaphosphabenzene.
