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

Azulene derivatives have attracted much attention for their application in organic electronic materials and devices because of their large dipole moment and small HOMO-LUMO energy gap. As these physical properties of azulene depend on its substitution and condensation patterns, developing methods to synthesize functionalized and π-extended azulenes is desirable. However, synthesizing π-extended azulenes requires harsh reaction conditions, making it hard to achieve both functionalization and π-extension. Here, we report the synthesis of electron-deficient azulene-embedded polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) with two alkoxycarbonyl groups by the rhodium-catalyzed intermolecular arylative [2 + 2 + 1] annulation of teraryl diynes with dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates followed by oxidation at room temperature. Interestingly, for the electron-rich diyne, prolonged oxidation time after the arylative [2 + 2 + 1] annulation yields a helicene-like bis(azulene-embedded PAH) in good yield. Thus, obtained electron-deficient fused azulenes have small HOMO-LUMO energy gaps (up to E
