Stereochemical determination of hydroxylated derivatives of progesterone using DFT NMR calculations and DP4+ probability.

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.
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
contextHydroxylated derivatives of progesterone are biologically relevant compounds obtained through regio- and stereoselective biotransformations, but determining their stereochemical configuration is challenging due to subtle NMR chemical shift differences. In this study, monohydroxylated (prog-15-OH) and dihydroxylated (prog-7,15-di-OH) progesterone derivatives produced by Penicillium oxalicum CBMAI 1996 were analyzed. Quantum NMR calculations combined with statistical validation allowed the unambiguous identification of the 15β-OH and 7β,15β-di-OH isomers, with DP4+ probabilities of 100% and 99.8%, respectively. These findings confirm the stereochemical outcome of enzymatic hydroxylation and demonstrate the reliability of integrating computational NMR with experimental spectroscopy for resolving stereochemical ambiguities in complex steroidal frameworks.
methodsConformational searches were performed using the MMFF94 force field, followed by DFT geometry optimizations at the B3LYP/6-311G(2d,p) level with IEFPCM (chloroform). NMR shielding tensors were computed by the GIAO method at the mPW1PW91/6-311G(d,p) level with PCM (chloroform), and chemical shifts were referenced to TMS. Experimental and calculated
