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 reaction mechanism and the origin of the selectivity for the photocatalytic intermolecular anti-Markovnikov hydroamination of unactivated alkenes with primary amines to furnish secondary amines have been revealed by time-resolved laser kinetics measurements of the key reaction intermediates. We show that back-electron transfer (BET) between the photogenerated aminium radical cation (ARC) and reduced photocatalyst complex (Ir(II)) is nearly absent due to rapid deprotonation of the ARC on the sub-100 ns time scale. The selectivity for primary amine alkylation is derived from the faster addition of the primary ARCs (as compared to secondary ARCs) to alkenes. The turnover of the photocatalyst occurs via the reaction between Ir(II) and a thiyl radical; the
