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 development of robust, practical, and chemoselective methods for introducing the difluoromethyl (CF₂H) group into organic molecules is highly sought after in the fields of pharmaceutical and agrochemical design. Herein, we report a Fe/Ni dual-transition-metal electrocatalytic strategy for difluoromethylation of (hetero)aryl halides, using difluoroacetate-the most abundant source of the CF₂H group-as an effective difluoromethylating reagent. A diverse array of aryl and heteroaryl halides, bearing synthetically useful functional groups, can be readily converted into the corresponding difluoromethylated products with good efficiency. This difluoromethylation protocol is readily scalable and is successfully applied to the preparation and late-stage functionalization of bioactive molecules.
