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

α,β-Dehydrogenation of aliphatic acids has been realized through both enolate and β-C-H metalation pathways. However, the synthesis of isolated β,γ-unsaturated aliphatic acids via dehydrogenation has not been achieved to date. Herein, we report the ligand-enabled β,γ-dehydrogenation of abundant and inexpensive free aliphatic acids, which provides a new synthetic disconnection as well as a versatile platform for the downstream functionalization of complex molecules at remote γ-sites. A variety of free aliphatic acids, including acyclic and cyclic systems with ring sizes from five-membered to macrocyclic, undergo efficient dehydrogenation. Notably, this protocol features good chemoselectivity in the presence of more accessible α-C-H bonds and excellent regioselectivity in fused bicyclic scaffolds. The utility of this protocol has been demonstrated by the late-stage functionalization of a series of bioactive terpene natural products at the γ-sites. Further functionalization of the β,γ-double bond allows for the installation of covalent warheads, including epoxides, aziridines, and β-lactones, into complex natural product scaffolds, which are valuable for targeted covalent drug discovery.
