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

Isoflavonoids represent a privileged scaffold among various bioactive natural products, rendering their structural diversification through green synthesis and subsequent biological evaluations a compelling research area. In this study, an NHC organocatalytic radical acylalkylation of 1,3-enynes using salicylaldehydes is presented, followed by a cascade intramolecular annulation, yielding a series of fluorinated isoflavone derivatives with substantial yields under environmental-friendly conditions. This approach, distinguished by its excellent modularity and high functional group tolerance, represents an unprecedented organocatalytic 1,3,4-trifunctionalization of 1,3-enynes designed for the green synthesis of bioactive isoflavones in a single step. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that these synthesized fluorinated isoflavonoids effectively suppress proliferation in breast cancer cells, with the most potent compound 8 also inhibiting migration in MDA-MB-231 cells.
