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

Over the past two decades, main group elements have gained attention as promising substitutes for precious metals in catalytic processes. Additionally, mechanochemistry is emerging as a field with the potential to promote catalytic reactions under mild conditions. Herein, we report a scalable, main-group mechanocatalytic synthesis of cyclic carbonates from both solid and liquid epoxides, using CO₂ as a renewable feedstock under mild conditions with a gallium aminotrisphenolate catalyst. Unlike solution-based methods that generally require high temperatures and/or high CO₂ pressures, this mechanocatalytic process operates at just 1 bar and room temperature. The developed mechanochemical method affords the targeted compounds in high yields while also enabling efficient transformation of multi-terminal epoxides and avoiding the conversion losses typically observed in solution. Furthermore, this scalable method outperforms solution-based approaches across all green metrics, setting a new benchmark for environmentally friendly synthesis.
