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

In drug discovery processes, changing the core structures of lead compounds to a variety of other ring systems is often needed, which typically requires laborious de novo syntheses of individual analogues. Here we report a conceptually different approach that allows rapid access to diverse core structures from a common intermediate using 1,2-oxaborines as a versatile molecular platform. A soft enolization/6π-electrocyclization strategy has been developed to efficiently synthesize 1,2-oxaborines from readily available enones or enals. Taking advantage of their multifaceted reactivities, 1,2-oxaborines can undergo further C-H functionalization and be transformed into a diverse range of arenes, heteroarenes and non-aromatic heterocycles. Finally, late-stage preparations of a suite of analogues that contain Lipitor substituents but with different aromatic cores are demonstrated using the 1,2-oxaborine-based core diversification strategy.
