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

Cyclopropanes serve as valuable synthetic intermediates in drug discovery and natural product synthesis. However, the stereoselective functionalization of cyclopropanes remains a fundamental challenge, traditionally necessitating the prior activation of the parent hydrocarbon. Here, we report an organocatalytic asymmetric intramolecular hydroalkoxylation of cyclopropanes that overcomes this constraint using chiral imidodiphosphorimidate catalysts. Our strategy directly affords enantioenriched substituted tetrahydrofurans with high enantioselectivity (up to 96.5:3.5 er). Kinetic analyses reveal a zero-order dependence on the substrate and support catalyst saturation. Combined experimental and computational studies suggest that the prereaction catalyst-substrate ion pair is stabilized through noncovalent interactions leading to the formation of a transient cycloproponium ion-like transition state. This work provides a potentially general platform for stereoselective cyclopropane functionalization.
