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

Utilizing the growing wealth of chemical reaction data can boost synthesis planning and increase success rates. Yet, the effectiveness of machine learning tools for retrosynthesis planning and forward reaction prediction relies on accessible, well-curated data presented in a structured format. Although some public and licensed reaction databases exist, they often lack essential information about reaction conditions. To address this issue and promote the principles of findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR) data reporting and sharing, we introduce the Simple User-Friendly Reaction Format (SURF). SURF standardizes the documentation of reaction data through a structured tabular format, requiring only a basic understanding of spreadsheets. This format enables chemists to record the synthesis of molecules in a format that is understandable by both humans and machines, which facilitates seamless sharing and integration directly into machine learning pipelines. SURF files are designed to be interoperable, easily imported into relational databases, and convertible into other formats. This complements existing initiatives like the Open Reaction Database (ORD) and Unified Data Model (UDM). At Roche, SURF plays a crucial role in democratizing FAIR reaction data sharing and expediting the chemical synthesis process.
