Rethinking carbanion chemistry from donor substituents to weakly coordinating carbanions.
Review in Nature reviews. Chemistry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Carbanionic compounds provide unique reactivity patterns resulting from the high negative partial charge at the carbon centre, making them invaluable in chemical synthesis. They are important reagents in synthesis, including for challenging metalation reactions or the formation of C-C bonds. Despite this, broader applications have long been limited by their high reactivity and sensitivity to air and moisture. However, recent studies have underscored the versatility of carbanions beyond their traditional role as strong bases and nucleophiles. Utilization of molecular design strategies has opened applications such as their use as electron-donating groups isoelectronic with amines, ambiphilic reagents and even as weakly coordinating anions. In this review article, we provide an overview of these emerging uses of carbanionic compounds, aiming to inspire a broader rethinking of their potential and to encourage the development of new applications.
