Triazenolysis of alkenes as an aza version of ozonolysis.
Article in Nature chemistry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Alkenes are broadly used in synthetic applications, thanks to their abundance and versatility. Ozonolysis is one of the most canonical transformations that converts alkenes into molecules bearing carbon-oxygen motifs via C=C bond cleavage. Despite its extensive use in both industrial and laboratory settings, the aza version-cleavage of alkenes to form carbon-nitrogen bonds-remains elusive. Here we report the conversion of alkenes into valuable amines via complete C=C bond disconnection. This process, which we have termed 'triazenolysis', is initiated by a (3 + 2) cycloaddition of triazadienium cation to an alkene. The triazolinium salt formed accepts hydride from borohydride anion and spontaneously decomposes to create new C-N motifs upon further reduction. The developed reaction is applicable to a broad range of cyclic alkenes to produce diamines, while various acyclic C=C bonds may be broken to generate two separate amine units. Computational analysis provides insights into the mechanism, including identification of the key step and elucidating the significance of Lewis acid catalysis.
