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

Despite their significance in nature, medium-sized rings (particularly 9-11 membered ones) are non-existent in commercial small-molecule drugs largely due to the lack of efficient syntheses. Even with the widespread presence of macrocyclic alkenes in therapeutic agents, stereoselective access to either E- or Z-alkenes remains a formidable challenge. The few available methods for stereoselective macrocyclic alkene synthesis necessitate the use of geometrically pure E- or Z-alkene starting materials. Here we report the construction of 11-membered heterocyclic alkenes through Pd-catalysed formal cycloaddition of two readily available building blocks. This catalytic method also achieves a ligand-induced catalytic divergent preparation of either E- or Z-trisubstituted cycloalkenes starting from common terminal alkene substrates. Density functional theory calculations establish that the key alkoxide-chelated Pd-π-allyl intermediate adopts η
