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

To illustrate the synthetic significance of C-C activation methods, here we describe an efficient strategy for the enantioselective total syntheses of (-)-cycloclavine and (-)-5- epi-cycloclavine, which is enabled by an asymmetric Rh-catalyzed "cut-and-sew" transformation between benzocyclobutenones and olefins. Despite the compact structure of cycloclavine with five-fused rings, the total synthesis was accomplished in 10 steps with a 30% overall yield. Key features of the synthesis include (1) a Pd-catalyzed tandem C-N bond coupling/allylic alkylation sequence to construct the nitrogen-tethered benzocyclobutenone, (2) a highly enantioselective Rh-catalyzed carboacylation of alkenes to forge the indoline-fused tricyclic structure, and (3) a diastereoselective cyclopropanation for preparing the tetrasubstituted cyclopropane ring. Notably, an improved catalytic condition has been developed for the nitrogen-tethered cut-and-sew transformation, which uses a low catalyst loading and allows for a broad substrate scope with high enantioselectivity (94-99% e.e.). The C-C activation-based strategy employed here is anticipated to have further implications for syntheses of other natural products that contain complex fused or bridged rings.
