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 molecular structures synthesizable by organic chemists dictate the molecular functions they can create. The invention and development of chemical reactions are thus critical for chemists to access new and desirable functional molecules in all disciplines of organic chemistry. This work seeks to expedite the exploration of emerging areas of organic chemistry by devising a machine-learning-guided workflow for reaction discovery. Specifically, this study uses machine learning to predict competent electrochemical reactions. To this end, we first develop a molecular representation that enables the production of general models with limited training data. Next, we employ automated experimentation to test a large number of electrochemical reactions. These reactions are categorized as competent or incompetent mixtures, and a classification model was trained to predict reaction competency. This model is used to screen 38,865 potential reactions in silico, and the predictions are used to identify a number of reactions of synthetic or mechanistic interest, 80% of which are found to be competent. Additionally, we provide the predictions for the 38,865-member set in the hope of accelerating the development of this field. We envision that adopting a workflow such as this could enable the rapid development of many fields of chemistry.
