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

Pentalene is a classic 8π antiaromatic non-alternant compound that displays high reactivity. To stabilize pentalene and investigate its properties, benzene rings are typically fused to its core. Advances in metal-catalyzed chemistry have rapidly accelerated the development of pentalene-incorporated molecular carbons. However, fully non-alternant structures based on the pentalene skeleton remain underexplored due to synthetic challenges. Here, we report the synthesis of a novel linear non-alternant hydrocarbon, diazulenopentalene, achieved via a Pt-mediated rearrangement arylation, with the mechanism elucidated by computational studies. Single-crystal analysis, complemented by aromaticity calculations, revealed that diazulenopentalene comprises distinct pentalene and azulene units. The synthetic strategy presented here provides a promising platform for a deeper investigation into this unique linear molecular carbon.
