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

The 2-oxindole class of heterocycles are privileged structural components in natural products and biologically active compounds. One of the most attractive methods for accessing 2-oxindoles is through direct oxidation of indoles, but current methods rely on the use of chemical oxidizing agents that lead to the generation of harmful waste products or biocatalytic methods using enzymes with a limited substrate scope. Herein, we describe the development and application of a general biocatalytic platform for the oxidative rearrangement of indoles using enzymatic halide recycling with vanadium-dependent haloperoxidases (VHPOs) facilitated by a catalytic quantity of halide salt and hydrogen peroxide as the terminal oxidant. This catalytic system is effective for the oxidative rearrangement of indoles into 2-oxindoles and 2-spirooxindoles. The developed protocol has been applied in multienzymatic and chemoenzymatic synthesis, late-stage functionalization of biologically active molecules, tryptophan-selective peptide modification, and gram-scale syntheses of coerulescine and horsfiline.
