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

Many polycyclic marine alkaloids are thought to derive from partly reduced macrocyclic alkylpyridine derivatives via a transannular Diels-Alder reaction that forms their common etheno-bridged diaza-decaline core ("Baldwin-Whitehead hypothesis"). Rather than trying to emulate this biosynthesis pathway, a route to these natural products following purely chemical logic was pursued. Specifically, a Michael/Michael addition cascade provided rapid access to this conspicuous tricyclic scaffold and allowed different handles to be introduced at the bridgehead quarternary center. This flexibility opened opportunities for the formation of the enveloping medium-sized and macrocyclic rings. Ring closing alkyne metathesis (RCAM) proved most reliable and became a recurrent theme en route to keramaphidin B, ingenamine, xestocyclamine A, and nominal njaoamine I (the structure of which had to be corrected in the aftermath of the synthesis). Best results were obtained with molybdenum alkylidyne catalysts endowed with (tripodal) silanolate ligands, which proved fully operative in the presence of tertiary amines, quinoline, and other Lewis basic sites. RCAM was successfully interlinked with macrolactamization, an intricate hydroboration/protonation/alkyl-Suzuki coupling sequence, or ring closing olefin metathesis (RCM) for the closure of the second lateral ring; the use of RCM for the formation of an 11-membered cycle is particularly noteworthy. Equally rare are RCM reactions that leave a pre-existing triple bond untouched, as the standard ruthenium catalysts are usually indiscriminative vis-à-vis the different π-bonds. Of arguably highest significance, however, is the use of two consecutive or even concurrent RCAM reactions en route to nominal njaoamine I as the arguably most complex of the chosen targets.
