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

Organocatalysis has emerged as a powerful tool in homogeneous catalysis, and especially in enantioselective catalysis. Importantly, the functional groups that are key to the reactivity of organocatalysts also allow for noncovalent interactions between catalyst molecules, both in the absence and in the presence of the reaction substrates. Such noncovalent interactions can lead to catalyst self-association, which can affect the catalytic behaviour of the respective organocatalyst, in terms of both reaction rates and enantioselectivities. In this Review, we present examples of such catalyst self-association in various organocatalysts, including ureas, thioureas, squaramides, peptides, silanediols and phosphoric acids. We analyse the known solid-state and solution-phase structures and discuss the influence of self-association in catalysis. We hope to illustrate the importance of catalyst self-association, which should be taken into account by practitioners of organocatalysis and catalyst designers.
