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

Single-atom skeletal editing is an increasingly powerful tool for scaffold hopping-based drug discovery. However, the insertion of a functionalized carbon atom into heteroarenes remains rare, especially when performed in complex chemical settings. Despite more than a century of research, Ciamician-Dennstedt (C-D) rearrangement remains limited to halocarbene precursors. Herein, we report a general methodology for the Ciamician-Dennstedt reaction using α-halogen-free carbenes generated in situ from N-triftosylhydrazones. This one-pot, two-step protocol enables the insertion of various carbenes, including those previously unexplored in C-D skeletal editing chemistry, into indoles/pyrroles scaffolds to access 3-functionalized quinolines/pyridines. Mechanistic studies reveal a pathway involving the intermediacy of a 1,4-dihydroquinoline intermediate, which could undergo oxidative aromatization or defluorinative aromatization to form different carbon-atom insertion products.
