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

Pincer-ligated phosphoranides constitute a relatively underexplored subclass of main-group compounds whose distinctive structural and electronic properties are now attracting renewed interest. In this study, we report the synthesis, full characterization, and novel photoreactivity of O,N,O-pincer ligated phosphoranide anions. Upon visible-light irradiation, these species engage in single-electron transfer (SET) processes with various aryl halides, enabling the formation of C-P and C-C bonds. A combination of electrochemical studies and TD-DFT calculations supports a mechanism involving the formation of electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complexes, followed by light-induced SET and radical recombination. These findings introduce these phosphoranides as a versatile platform for photochemical transformations and underscore the broader potential of main-group frameworks in light-driven redox chemistry.
