Ureas and Their Derivatives as Ligands in Transition Metal Catalysis.
Article in Tetrahedron, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Ureas and related compounds represent a popular class of organocatalysts, exploiting their dual hydrogen bond donor capacity to promote reactions and enable asymmetric catalysis. The use of these compounds as ligands in transition metal catalysis has been considerably less developed, despite their ease of synthesis and versatility as ligands. However, there have been notable developments over the last 15-20 years that demonstrate the viability of ureas and closely related compounds as an attractive ligand platform for transition metal catalysis. This perspective will highlight seminal work using (thio)ureas as ancillary ligands, where they engage in non-covalent interactions with substrates in the secondary coordination sphere of transition metals, and as primary ligands, where they coordinate directly to the metal to promote catalytic reactions.
