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

The synthesis of alkylated indoles, which are key intermediates for various drugs and bioactive molecules, is of great importance. However, most reports on the synthesis of functionalized indoles use toxic and expensive 4d or 5d metal catalysts, limiting the further application of these methods. Herein, we disclose a versatile regioselective C-H alkylation of indole derivatives using a well-defined three-coordinate iron(0) complex. Neither Grignard reagents nor additional additives are required, making the reaction sustainable, environmentally friendly, and compatible with a broad variety of functional groups to afford C2-alkylated indoles in high yields. In addition, by variation of the aryl substituent on the alkene substrate to the trisubstituted silyl group, the regioselectivity of the C-H alkylation can be altered from Markovnikov to
