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

From a circular economy point of view, the valorization of gaseous alkanes into large-volume commodity chemicals is of the utmost importance. Such protocols would help reduce the current reliance on a petroleum-based economy and contribute to the challenge of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In this regard, we hereby report a methodology based on dual photoredox/nickel catalysis that enables the direct coupling of gaseous alkanes with a range of acid chlorides. The protocol is operationally simple, proceeds under mild reaction conditions, and features high chemo- and regioselectivity and good functional group tolerance. Of note, this method serves as an efficient tool for the upscaling of feedstock gaseous alkanes into industrially relevant ketones, such as propiophenone, acetophenone, or isobutyrophenone derivatives.
