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

Chiral polyoxygenated cyclohexanes are valuable constituents of biologically relevant products. Herein, we report a protocol for the direct access to these scaffolds via site- and enantioselective non-directed oxidation of cyclohexyl-3,5-meso diethers using aqueous H₂O₂. Structural shaping of a highly reactive chiral Mn-oxo species, achieved through the combination of a sterically encumbered ligand and a bulky carboxylic acid, promotes a precise fit of the substrate within the catalyst pocket, which translates into exceptional enantioselectivity (up to >99% ee). Computational studies reveal that C─H oxidation proceeds via an initial hydrogen atom transfer, followed by electron transfer, leading to the formation of a chiral cationic intermediate. The resulting desymmetrized 3-methoxycyclohexanone products serve as valuable intermediates for the synthesis of bioactive cores, as they can undergo orthogonal chemical modifications to enable further structural diversification.
