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 describe our efforts toward the total synthesis of darobactin A, an antibiotic that selectively targets Gram-negative bacteria. The first route comprised the preparation of two separate advanced fragments. The unusual ether-linked tryptophan moiety was constructed utilizing a nucleophilic aromatic substitution-Bartoli indole synthesis-Negishi coupling sequence, while C-H arylation was used to prepare the β-arylated lysine scaffold. Larock indole synthesis was confirmed as a valuable approach to achieve the first macrocyclization. An approach using macrolactamization for the construction of the second, western macrocycle proved to be unsuitable for the darobactin A scaffold. Thus, a second strategy focused on the synthesis of both macrocycles through two distinct intramolecular Larock indole syntheses that further brought valuable insights into the atroposelectivity of such reactions. Herein, we report our study toward the total synthesis of darobactin A, including the synthesis of advanced intermediates.
