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

Atom insertion reactions into ring systems may occur via one of two pathways, proceeding either through initial cyclization to form a 3-membered ring intermediate followed by cleavage of the ring-fusion bond, or through initial ring-scission followed by recyclization onto the inserting atom. Herein, we demonstrate the use of regioretention probes, substrates with latent symmetry that is unveiled only in the case of ring scission and are thus able to distinguish between possible mechanisms for atom insertion. We apply these probes to a handful of previously reported nitrogen insertion methods and in each case unambiguously establish whether the reaction proceeds through aziridination or C=C cleavage. In particular, we show that recently reported cobalt- or manganese-catalyzed nitrogen insertion protocols, postulated to proceed via an aziridinyl radical intermediate, instead proceed through a ring-opened ketone-containing intermediate.
