Metal-free radical borylations: mechanisms, catalytic strategies, and synthetic applications.
Review in Chemical science, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
Metal-free radical borylation has emerged as a powerful and sustainable alternative to transition-metal-catalyzed methods, addressing challenges such as residual metal contamination, functional group sensitivity, and the high cost of precious metals. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the mechanistic underpinnings and catalytic innovations driving this rapidly evolving field. We delve into the fundamental steps of radical generation, including homolytic B-X bond cleavage and the formation of alkyl, aryl, and boryl radicals through single-electron transfer (SET), hydrogen atom transfer (HAT), and energy transfer (EnT) pathways. Recent strategic developments are critically evaluated, including photoinduced processes such as electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complex activation, consecutive photoinduced electron transfer (ConPET), and polarity reversal catalysis and electrochemical activation using organic mediators and thermal initiation
