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

We present a simple and efficient photocatalytic method for the transfer hydrogenation of unsaturated compounds using alcohol as the hydrogen source and low-cost decatungstate as the photocatalyst. Our approach operates under mild and ambient conditions and demonstrates broad substrate compatibility, including alkyl, aryl, and heteroatom-substituted alkenes, alkynes, azo compounds and nitroarenes. To our knowledge, this study represents the first instance of using tungsten-based catalysts for the photocatalytic transfer hydrogenation of unsaturated compounds. Notably, the catalytic system, employing decatungstate as the catalyst and alcohol as the hydrogen source, exhibits high chemoselectivity, enabling selective hydrogenation of alkenes and alkynes even in the presence of reactive groups like ketones and carboxylic acids. These features highlight the considerable potential of this approach for practical and sustainable applications in organic synthesis.
