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

While organolithium reactions hold great promise in synthetic chemistry, their high reactivity, strong exothermicity, and the instability of intermediates often limit their application, making the effective control of reaction processes difficult in traditional batch reactors. This review systematically summarizes the latest advances in utilizing flow chemistry technology to address process challenges related to organolithium reactions from 2014 to 2025. From a process perspective, we systematically discuss the literature cases regarding three key themes: the synthesis of organic compounds applied in the pharmaceutical field, the development of novel methods centered on effective process control (reaction temperature, residence time, phase state, multi-step reaction sequence, and safety), and fundamental process research on continuous flow organolithium reactions. Analysis shows that continuous flow systems provide a powerful platform for fully realizing the potential of organolithium chemistry by enhancing heat/mass transfer and precisely controlling reaction parameters. This review emphasizes how flow chemistry technology not only improves process safety and efficiency but also enables transformations and process scaling that are difficult or impossible in batch modes, thus providing a novel process intensification method for modern synthetic chemistry.
