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

Hydrochlorination of unsaturated hydrocarbons is a fundamental reaction scheme in organic synthesis, with the traditional acid-mediated approaches proceeding in Markovnikov selectivity and direct access to anti-Markovnikov hydrochlorination products being a longstanding pursuit. Previous efforts were restricted to multistep syntheses, stoichiometric chlorine and hydride sources, and/or highly oxidative photocatalysis, resulting in limited scope, and low regioselectivity in some cases. Thus, the development of redox-neutral hydrochlorination with high anti-Markovnikov regioselectivity compatible with both alkenes and alkynes remains important. Here we report a photocatalytic anti-Markovnikov hydro- and deuterochlorination of unsaturated hydrocarbons enabling access to diverse alkyl and alkenyl chlorides regio- and stereo-selectively. Broad scope (125 examples), mild conditions and regio- and isotopo-divergent syntheses are demonstrated. Critical to success is leveraging ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) photoreactivity of earth-abundant iron and hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) reactivity of redox-active thiol. This cooperative system offers a powerful strategy for anti-Markovnikov hydrofunctionalization of unsaturated hydrocarbons.
