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 unique synthetic potential of acylboron species has long attracted attention from the synthetic chemistry community, but their broader application has been limited by challenges associated with their preparation. In this work, we report a mechanistically distinct radical-based C(acyl)-B cross-coupling strategy that enables a "formal condensation" between readily available carboxylic acids and easily accessible ligated boranes. The success of this transformation relies on the distinctive use of a phosphonite ligand, which achieves an optimal balance between the stability and reactivity of the borane moiety. This method demonstrates a broad substrate scope with high practical utility, and its strategic value has been further highlighted through diverse downstream derivatizations of the resulting acylborane compounds.
