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

Humulones are a family of homolog natural products obtained from the strobiles of humulus lupulus, or hops plants. Structurally, they consist of substituted phloroglucinols with two isoprenyl side chains, a carbonyl group and a quaternary ring carbon substituted with a hydroxyl group. The three most prominent homologs are n-, co- and ad-humulone, containing isobutyl, isopropyl and secbutyl ketone groups, respectively. When solutions of humulones are exposed to UV light, they undergo stereoselective isomerization to the five-membered ring trans-isohumulones. A photoreactor was assembled from strip LEDs in close contact with UV-transparent tubing. This reactor allowed continuous-flow chemical synthesis of the isohumulones. The yield, conversion and product throughput are compared for the humulones, using LEDs emitting white, blue and ultraviolet light (visible, 400 nm, and 365 nm, respectively). Using an optimized continuous-flow reactor, a throughput of 0.43 g/h was obtained for trans-n-isohumulone.
