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

Trisubstituted allenes with a 3-(1'-alkenylidene)-pyrrolidin-2-one motif were successfully deracemized (13 examples, 86-98 % ee) employing visible light (λ=420 nm) and a chiral triplet sensitizer as the catalyst (2.5 mol %). The photocatalyst likely operates by selective recognition of one allene enantiomer via hydrogen bonds and by a triplet-sensitized racemization process. Even a tetrasubstituted allene (45 % ee) and a seven-membered 3-(1'-alkenylidene)-azepan-2-one (62 % ee) could be enantiomerically enriched under the chosen conditions. It was shown that the axial chirality of the allenes can be converted into point chirality by a Diels-Alder (94-97 % ee) or a bromination reaction (91 % ee). Ring opening of the five-membered pyrrolidin-2-one was achieved without significantly compromising the integrity of the chirality axis (92 % ee).
