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

Total synthesis has long been a proving ground for advancing chemical thought, pushing chemists to develop strategies that not only replicate nature's complexity but often surpass it. The pursuit of efficiency, practicality, and elegance continues to challenge and reshape the guiding principles of total synthesis. In recent years, skeletal editing has emerged as a powerful strategy for reconfiguring skeletal frameworks in ways that were previously difficult to imagine. Unlike conventional chemical synthesis approaches, which primarily rely on the logic of bond construction reactions and functional group manipulations, skeletal editing introduces elements that allow for atom insertion, deletion, and exchange and skeletal rearrangement/reorganization by harnessing the potential energy and reactivity of certain structural motifs and morphing them into new electronic and spatial configurations. The logic of modern skeletal editing has been fueling the development of new editing methods and advancing the fields of total synthesis, medicinal chemistry, materials science, and others.In this Account, we detail our program using skeletal editing-based retrosynthetic logic to facilitate natural product synthesis. We first highlight two one-carbon insertion editing strategies utilizing the Ciamician-Dennstedt rearrangement and the Büchner-Curtius-Schlotterbeck ring expansion to streamline the total syntheses of complanadine and phleghenrine
