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

Conventional chemical or biological synthetic methods often encounter challenges in conveniently preparing chiral natural and unnatural products with the same skeleton at a scalable level, due to their complexity with numerous chiral centers or uncharacterized enzymes. Herein, a simplified modular chemoenzymatic platform is designed featuring a streamlined four-enzyme cascade coupled with a chemical module that involves one or two chemical steps. This platform enables the divergent synthesis of structurally diverse natural and unnatural benzylisoquinoline alkaloids (BIAs), including 1-benzylisoquinoline, protoberberine, morphinan, and aporphine alkaloids. Moreover, the enantioselectivity of the chiral BIAs is up to 99% ee. The titer of papaverine reaches an impressive 2.83 g L
