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 first total synthesis of the bisindole alkaloids (+)-hazuntiphylline, (-)-anhydrohazuntiphyllidine, and (-)-hazuntiphyllidine is described. We envisioned an efficient synthetic strategy based on a plausible biosynthetic hypothesis for the rapid assembly of these complex alkaloids via successive methylenation of an oxidized variant of the natural product (-)-mehranine. Our concise synthesis of these alkaloids required the development of completely stereoselective double alkylation sequences of transiently formed C3-enamines and precise timing for hydration of intricate intermediates. Whereas homodimerization of a C3-methylene mehranine-derivative exclusively gave (-)-3-epi-anhydrohazuntiphyllidine, an alternative alkylation cascade was developed to afford the natural products (-)-anhydrohazuntiphyllidine and (+)-hazuntiphylline. Insights gained in these studies concerning the intermediacy of hydrated intermediates enabled a completely stereoselective synthesis of (-)-hazuntiphyllidine, the most complex member of the Hazunta alkaloids. We discuss our hypothesis for the rapid assembly of these intriguing alkaloids, including our completely controlled access to both the natural and epimeric C3-quaternary stereochemistry of anhydrohazuntiphyllidine, and analysis of plausible biosynthetic intermediates including a sensitive methylenebisdesmethylmehranine-derivative, highlighting divergent pathways to each natural alkaloid based on the order of C-C and C-N bond formation and the hydration of putative intermediates.
