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 intermediacy of metallacyclobutadienes as part of a [2 + 2]/retro-[2 + 2] cycloaddition-based mechanism is a well-established paradigm in alkyne metathesis with alternative species viewed as off-cycle decomposition products that interfere with efficient product formation. Recent work has shown that the exclusive intermediate isolated from a siloxide podand-supported molybdenum-based catalyst was not the expected metallacyclobutadiene but instead a dynamic metallatetrahedrane. Despite their paucity in the chemical literature, theoretical work has shown these species to be thermodynamically more stable as well as having modest barriers for cycloaddition. Consequentially, we report the synthesis of a library of group VI alkylidynes as well as the roles metal identity, ligand flexibility, secondary coordination sphere, and substrate identity all have on isolable intermediates. Furthermore, we report the disparities in catalyst competency as a function of ligand sterics and metal choice. Dispersion-corrected DFT calculations are used to shed light on the mechanism and role of ligand and metal on the intermediacy of metallacyclobutadiene and metallatetrahedrane as well as their implications to alkyne metathesis.
