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

A practical molecular editing strategy has been established for the direct and consecutive C-3 diazenylation and C-2 arylation of indoles with aryltriazenes under metal-free and ambient conditions. A sequence of tandem reactions has been developed via the sustained release of aryldiazonium species from aryltriazenes to achieve the controlled multiple bond sequential cleavage and formation. This strategy enables the chemo-controlled consecutive C-H functionalization of indole at two adjacent reactive sites (C-2 versus C-3) without pre-functionalization of the reactive sites and even without the assistance of the directing group, metal catalyst, or ligand. Detailed mechanistic experiments and DFT (density functional theory) calculations supported a sequence of tandem reaction mechanisms. The synthetic importance of this methodology is evident from the simple operation, good functional group tolerance, gram-scale synthesis, late-stage modification of pharmaceuticals, and
