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

Hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) process is a powerful and effective strategy for activating C-H bonds followed by further functionalization. Intramolecular 1,n (n = 5 or 6)-HATs are common and frequently encountered in organic synthesis. However, intramolecular 1,n (n = 2 or 3)-HAT is very challenging due to slow kinetics. Compared to proton-shuttle process, which is well established for organic synthesis, hydrogen radical-shuttle (HRS) is unexplored. In this work, a HRS-enabled decarboxylative annulation of carbonyl compounds via photoredox catalysis for the synthesis of indanones is developed. This protocol features broad substrate scope, excellent functional group tolerance, internal hydrogen radical transfer, atom- and step-economy. Critical to the success of this process is the introduction of water, acting as both HRS and hydrogen source, which was demonstrated by mechanistic experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Importantly, this mechanistically distinctive HAT provides a complement to that of typical proton-shuttle-promoted, representing a breakthrough in hydrogen radical transfer, especially in the inherently challenging 1,2- or 1,3-HAT.
