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

Organic chemistry is replete with complex relationships: for example, how a reactant's structure relates to the resulting product formed; how reaction conditions relate to yield; how a catalyst's structure relates to enantioselectivity. Questions like these are at the foundation of understanding reactivity and developing novel and improved reactions. An approach to probing these questions that is both longstanding and contemporary is data-driven modeling. Here, we provide a synopsis of the history of data-driven modeling in organic chemistry and the terms used to describe these endeavors. We include a timeline of the steps that led to its current state. The case studies included highlight how, as a community, we have advanced physical organic chemistry tools with the aid of computers and data to augment the intuition of expert chemists and to facilitate the prediction of structure-activity and structure-property relationships.
