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

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are important structures known for their unique properties. Herein, we present a transition-metal-free method for synthesizing hydroxy-substituted PAHs using base-promoted intramolecular enolate-olefin-metathesis chemistry. 2-Acyl-2'-alkenylbiaryl substrates were subjected to [2 + 2]-/retro-[2 + 2]-cycloaddition sequences to afford functionalized PAH derivatives, including enantiomerically enriched [7]helicenes. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations predicted that ionic and radical intermediates are involved in a stepwise process. Various biaryl substrates, including heteroatom-containing compounds, were successfully converted into the desired PAHs. The developed method also enabled the synthesis of π-extended arenols, thereby offering a sustainable and efficient alternative to transition-metal-catalyzed processes.
