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

Functionalization of carboranes, icosahedral boron-carbon molecular clusters, is of great interest as they have wide applications in medicinal and materials chemistry. Thus, site- and enantioselective synthesis of carboranes requires complete control of the reaction. Herein, we describe the asymmetric Rh(II)-catalyzed insertion reactions of carbenes into cage B-H bond of carboranes. This reaction thereby generates carboranes possessing a carbon-stereocenter adjacent to cage boron of the carborane, in excellent site- and enantioselectivity under mild reaction conditions. The fully computed transition structures of Rh(II)-catalyzed carbene insertion process through density functional theory are reported. These B-H insertion transition structures, in conjunction with topographical proximity surfaces analyses, visually reveal the region between the carborane and the phthalimide ligands responsible for the selectivities of this reaction.
