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 Suzuki-Miyaura reaction is the most practiced palladium-catalyzed, cross-coupling reaction because of its broad applicability, low toxicity of the metal (B), and the wide variety of commercially available boron substrates. A wide variety of boronic acids and esters, each with different properties, have been developed for this process. Despite the popularity of the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction, the precise manner in which the organic fragment is transferred from boron to palladium has remained elusive for these reagents. Herein, we report the observation and characterization of pretransmetalation intermediates generated from a variety of commonly employed boronic esters. The ability to confirm the intermediacy of pretransmetalation intermediates provided the opportunity to clarify mechanistic aspects of the transfer of the organic moiety from boron to palladium in the key transmetalation step. A series of structural, kinetic, and computational investigations revealed that boronic esters can transmetalate directly without prior hydrolysis. Furthermore, depending on the boronic ester employed, significant rate enhancements for the transfer of the B-aryl groups were observed. Overall, two critical features were identified that enable the transfer of the organic fragment from boron to palladium: (1) the ability to create an empty coordination site on the palladium atom and (2) the nucleophilic character of the ipso carbon bound to boron. Both of these features ultimately relate to the electron density of the oxygen atoms in the boronic ester.
