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

Photoredox catalysis has emerged as a powerful and versatile platform for the synthesis of complex molecules. While photocatalysis is already broadly used in small-scale batch chemistry across the pharmaceutical sector, recent efforts have focused on performing these transformations in process chemistry due to the inherent challenges of batch photocatalysis on scale. However, translating optimized batch conditions to flow setups is challenging, and a general approach that is rapid, convenient, and inexpensive remains largely elusive. Herein, we report the development of a new approach that uses a microscale high-throughput experimentation (HTE) platform to identify optimal reaction conditions that can be directly translated to flow systems. A key design point is to simulate the flow-vessel pathway within a microscale reaction plate, which enables the rapid identification of optimal flow reaction conditions using only a small number of simultaneous experiments. This approach has been validated against a range of widely used photoredox reactions and, importantly, was found to translate accurately to several commercial flow reactors. We expect that the generality and operational efficiency of this new HTE approach to photocatalysis will allow rapid identification of numerous flow protocols for scale.
