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

Ultra high-throughput chemistry carried out in 1536-well plates is increasingly utilized for reaction optimization protocols and direct-to-biology (D2B) platforms, where nanomolar quantities of the final product are directly assessed for biochemical or cellular activity without purification. As their popularity increases, it is crucial that the synthesis of these molecules is reliable and reproducible. Research in our laboratories has identified several nuances of amide couplings when performed on the nanoscale that result in poor translation from 1536-well plates to batch-scale reactions. This case study presents a nanoscale amide coupling reaction to synthesize 700 PROTAC molecules, which identified a range of factors crucial to reaction success on the nanoscale, despite having no influence on reaction conversion in batch. This work presents a guide for high-throughput chemists to consider when working in 1536-well plates and their importance in drawing conclusions from nanoscale synthesis.
