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

Heterocycle skeletal editing has recently emerged as a powerful tactic for achieving heterocycle-to-heterocycle transmutation without the need for multistep de novo heterocycle synthesis. However, the enantioselective skeletal editing of heteroarenes through single-atom logic remains challenging. Here we report the enantiodivergent dearomative skeletal editing of indoles and pyrroles via an asymmetric carbon-atom insertion, using trifluoromethyl N-triftosylhydrazones as carbene precursors. This strategy provides a straightforward methodology to access enantiomerically enriched six-membered N-heterocycles containing a trifluoromethylated quaternary stereocentre from planar N-heteroarenes. The synthetic utility of this enantiodivergent methodology was demonstrated by a broad evaluation of reaction scope, product derivatization and concise syntheses of drug analogues. Mechanistic studies reveal that the excellent asymmetric induction arises from the initial cyclopropanation step. The asymmetric single-atom insertion strategy is expected to have a broad impact on the field of single-atom skeletal editing and catalytic asymmetric dearomatization of aromatic compounds.
