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

HMBC is an essential NMR experiment for determining multiple bond heteronuclear correlations in small to medium-sized organic molecules, including natural products, yet its major limitation is the inability to differentiate two-bond from longer-range correlations. There have been several attempts to address this issue, but all reported approaches suffer various drawbacks, such as restricted utility and poor sensitivity. Here we present a sensitive and universal methodology to identify two-bond HMBC correlations using isotope shifts, referred to as i-HMBC (isotope shift detection HMBC). Experimental utility was demonstrated at the sub-milligram / nanomole scale with only a few hours of acquisition time required for structure elucidation of several complex proton-deficient natural products, which could not be fully elucidated by conventional 2D NMR experiments. Because i-HMBC overcomes the key limitation of HMBC without significant reduction in sensitivity or performance, i-HMBC can be used as a complement to HMBC when unambiguous identifications of two-bond correlations are needed.
