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

Enantioselective dicarbofunctionalization of alkenes is a powerful strategy for constructing functionalized sp³-rich molecules, yet it remains challenging for unactivated substrates lacking directing groups. While asymmetric multicomponent reactions catalyzed by d¹⁰ transition metals have advanced for activated alkenes, enantioselective multicomponent cross-coupling of unactivated alkenes, particularly enabling remote functionalization to stereoselectively generate the nonadjacent stereocenters, is still underdeveloped. Herein, we report a palladium-catalyzed asymmetric migratory dicarbofunctionalization of directing-group-free, trisubstituted unactivated alkenes. This method forges remote stereogenic centers, enabling both 1,3-diarylation and 1,4-diarylation with high enantioselectivity and diastereoselectivity. Mechanistic studies indicate a chain-walking process involving irreversible Pd-H migration, rationalizing the observed regiocontrol.
