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

C-H Functionalization has become widely recognized as an exciting new strategy for the synthesis of complex molecular targets. Instead of relying on functional groups as the controlling elements of how molecules are assembled, it offers a totally different logic for organic synthesis. For this type of strategy to be successful, reagents and catalysts need to be developed that generate intermediates that are sufficiently reactive to functionalize C-H bonds but still capable of distinguishing between the different C-H bonds and other functional groups present in a molecule. The most well-established approaches have tended to use substrates that have inherently a favored site for C-H functionalization or rely on intramolecular reactions to control where the reaction will occur. A challenging but potentially more versatile approach would be to use catalysts to control the site-selectivity without requiring the influence of any directing group. One example that is capable of achieving such transformations is the C-H insertion chemistry of transient metal carbenes. Dirhodium tetracarboxylates have been shown to be especially effective catalysts for these reactions. This review will highlight the development of these dirhodium catalysts and illustrate their effectiveness to control both site-selective and stereoselective C-H functionalization of a wide variety of substrates.
