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

Many important solid-phase synthesis reactions proceed slowly and inefficiently, for example, the coupling of an activated ester to a sterically hindered, bead-displayed amine, a critical step in the synthesis of many peptides. Forcing conditions are often required to achieve acceptable yields. We show here that such reactions can be accelerated by tethering to the bead a nucleophilic pyridine catalyst, which reacts with the activated ester, creating a high local concentration of a reactive acylpyridinium intermediate that couples efficiently to the bead-displayed amine. In many cases, the "cleanliness" of reactions carried out on resins equipped with an immobilized catalyst is substantially better than the analogous reactions in which the catalyst is added to the solution.
