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

Pyridinium salts are valuable building blocks in synthetic design, yet most derivatives display only one reactive mode. We report an α-carboxyalkylpyridinium salt that functions as a dual mode reagent, acting either as a photoactivated radical precursor or as a thermally generated pyridinium ylide. The salt is readily prepared from amino acid and permits divergent [3 + 2] cycloadditions by simply changing the energy input (visible light versus heat). Two photoinduced electron transfer pathwaysintermolecular (with the photocatalyst) and intramolecular (within the pyridinium salt)generate different radical intermediates, which subsequently undergo distinct reaction sequences, affording the same γ-butyrolactone. Thermal activation induces decarboxylation to pyridinium ylides, allowing access to tetrahydroindolizines via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, which subsequently undergo an unprecedented photocatalytic 1,2-phenyl migration to yield fluorescent indolizines.
