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

Carbanions are an important class of reactive species used as nucleophiles in C-C bond-forming reactions. Such reactive carbanions are generated by deprotonating relatively acidic C-H bonds using strong bases like sodium/potassium hydroxides or amides. Lochmann-Schlosser base, consisting of a mixture of alkyl lithium reagents and heavier alkali metal alkoxides, is widely used for the metalation of organic compounds via the deprotonation of weakly acidic C-H bond. The aggregation of alkoxides makes it challenging to understand the course of the reaction, demanding the consideration of molecular compounds as alternatives to sodium/potassium alkoxides. Here, we demonstrate the development of new organosodium reagents using molecular compounds as alternatives to oligomeric sodium/potassium alkoxides. Sodium tris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borate, along with mesityllithium in the presence of tris[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]amine (Me
