Copper-catalyzed photoinduced carbonylation of C1-C3 gaseous alkanes.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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 catalytic conversion of carbon monoxide (CO) provides an enormous opportunity to construct carbonyl-containing molecules. Among them, the direct carbonylation of C-H bonds on gaseous hydrocarbon feedstocks provides a straightforward approach to access industrially important short-chain carboxylic acid derivatives. Here, we report a general and mild direct carbonylation of methane, ethane, and propane under blue LED irradiation at ambient temperature, enabling the direct formation of short-chain carboxylic acid derivatives. Notably, the direct carbonylation of ethane offers the potential for a more cost-efficient route to produce MMA. The combination of copper reduction and chlorine radical released via a ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) process facilitates the activation of gaseous hydrocarbon in a mild and atom-economical mode.
