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.
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 arylation of sterically hindered amines represents one of the long-standing challenges in synthetic chemistry. Herein, we report a highly efficient Ni-catalysed arylation of sterically hindered primary and secondary amines with aryl chlorides or phenol derivatives enabled by an unsymmetric N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand. The protocol provides general, efficient, and scalable access to various sterically demanding anilines in excellent yields under mild conditions. A wide range of functional groups and heterocycles are compatible (>50 examples), including those present in biologically relevant molecules. Computational studies suggest that the unsymmetric bulky and flexible NHC ligand was critical to balance the oxidative addition and reductive elimination elementary steps, thus promoting this challenging transformation.
