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 complex and diverse molecular architectures along with broad biological activities of ent-kauranoids natural products make them an excellent testing ground for the invention of synthetic methods and strategies. Recent efforts notwithstanding, synthetic access to the highly oxidized enmein-type ent-kauranoids still presents considerable challenges to synthetic chemists. Here, we report the enantioselective total syntheses of C-19 oxygenated enmein-type ent-kauranoids, including (-)-macrocalyxoformins A and B and (-)-ludongnin C, along with discussion and study of synthetic strategies. The enabling feature in our synthesis is a devised Ni-catalyzed decarboxylative cyclization/radical-polar crossover/C-acylation cascade that forges a THF ring concomitantly with the β-keto ester group. Mechanistic studies reveal that the C-acylation process in this cascade reaction is achieved through a carboxylation followed by an in situ esterification. Biological evaluation of these synthetic natural products reveals the indispensable role of the ketone on the D ring in their anti-tumor efficacy.
