Going Beyond Woodward and Hoffmann's Electrocyclizations and Cycloadditions: Sigmatropic Rearrangements.
Review in Chemical record (New York, N.Y.), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
On June 1, 1965, R. B. Woodward and Roald Hoffmann published their third communication in the Journal of the American Chemical Society in which they applied orbital symmetry control to explain the mechanism of a wide variety of valence isomerizations that they termed "sigmatropic reactions." This publication reveals the research trajectory taken by Hoffmann from which this portion of the no-mechanism problem was solved. Hoffmann used five different quantum chemical tools, all based on either extended Hückel theoretical calculations or frontier molecular orbital theory, in his research. Hoffmann's laboratory notebooks and his three draft manuscripts along with Woodward's four subsequent drafts have survived the past 59 years and provide an excellent window into the thinking and manuscript-writing processes used by these Nobel laureates in February-April 1965.
