Photocatalytic Generation of a Ground-State Electron Donor Through Water Activation.
Article in Angewandte Chemie (International ed. in English), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
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
Electron donors that can be excited to higher energy states through light absorption can achieve oxidation potentials as low as -3.0 V (vs. SCE). However, ground-state organic electron transfer reagents operating at such potentials remain underdeveloped, often necessitating multi-step syntheses and elevated reaction temperatures for activation. The longer lifetime of ground-state reagents is an advantage compared to most photoexcited single-electron reductants, which typically have relatively short lifetimes. In this study, catalytically generated phosphine oxide radical anions derived from phosphines and water applying redox catalysis are introduced as highly efficient single-electron reductants. The in situ generated radical anions are capable of reducing electron-rich aryl chlorides at potentials as low as -3.3 V (vs. SCE). Cyclic voltammetry studies and DFT calculations provide valuable insights into the behavior of these phosphorus-based ground-state electron donors. These findings do not only expand the chemistry of phosphoranyl radicals but also unlock the potential of in situ generated organic ground state electron donors that reach potentials comparable to elemental potassium.
