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

Diarylated thioethers are privileged scaffolds found across pharmaceuticals, functional materials, and molecular electronics. Conventional approaches to these motifs, typically via C-H functionalization or C-X cross-coupling with thiophenols, disulfides, thiosulfonates, and related sulfenylating agents, remain hampered by foul odors, instability, air- and moisture- sensitivity, tedious synthesis, and poor selectivity, often producing undesired byproducts. In contrast, the few strategies that employ elemental sulfur for symmetrical thioether synthesis are largely confined to copper catalysis and lack generality. Therefore, a straightforward and sustainable route to symmetrical thioethers from readily accessible, bench-stable sulfenylating agents with broad substrate compatibility is highly desirable. Herein, we demonstrate
