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

Herein, an electro-induced umpolung approach that enables the efficient functionalization/macrocyclization of cysteine-containing peptides is reported. Notably, this method utilizes simple halogen source and takes metal-mediated halogen atom transfer as the main pathway to enable the in-situ polarity reversal, highlighting the unique possibilities associated with electrochemical activation methods. Under simple and mild conditions, cysteine residue can be well-labelled with high chemo-selectivity and excellent conversion. This transformation can tolerate a wide range of valuable enamines, azoles, and peptides partners, and can also be utilized as a macrocyclization tactic for cyclic peptide synthesis and other areas.
