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

The 12 principles of green chemistry guide the scientific community toward the development of chemical processes that are more respectful of the environment and safer for human health. In organic synthesis, this mainly involves the use of sustainable alternatives to conventional organic solvents, energy-efficient processes, and waste minimization. In this context, this review focuses on the use of deep eutectic solvents (DES) in microwave-assisted organic synthesis. Indeed, DES, due to their nonvolatility, nonflammability, and low toxicity compared to conventional organic solvents, are considered desirable "green solvents" for the development of environmentally friendly processes. Moreover, their physicochemical properties make them ideal media for microwave heating. Thus, all organic syntheses using DES as solvent and microwave heating documented in the literature are reported, including heterocycle synthesis, nitrogen quaternization reactions, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural production, Knoevenagel reactions, and miscellaneous transformations. The recyclability of DES-based systems and their scalability, where applicable, are reported. Mechanistical considerations when DES are involved are also described. Compared with conventional heating methods, microwave heating of DES media generally results in good yields and a significant reduction in reaction times. This DES-MW combination appears promising for more sustainable organic syntheses.
