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

Inherently chiral calixarenes hold great potential for applications in chiral recognition, sensing, and asymmetric catalysis due to their unique structures. However, due to their special structures and relatively large sizes, the catalytic asymmetric synthesis of inherently chiral calixarenes is challenging with very limited examples available. Here, we present an efficient method for the enantioselective synthesis of inherently chiral sulfur-containing calix[4]arenes through the desymmetrizing electrophilic sulfenylation of calix[4]arenes. This catalytic asymmetric reaction is enabled by a chiral 1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'-diamine-derived sulfide catalyst and hexafluoroisopropanol. Various inherently chiral sulfur-containing calix[4]arenes are obtained in moderate to excellent yields with high enantioselectivities. Control experiments indicate that the thermodynamically favored C-SAr product is formed from the kinetically favored N-SAr product and the combination of the chiral sulfide catalyst and hexafluoroisopropanol is crucially important for both enantioselectivity and reactivity.
