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 metal-free activation of amines and phosphines is of great significance due to its broad relevance in both organic synthesis and industrial chemistry. Herein, we report the cooperative 1,2-addition of N-H bonds from ammonia as well as various primary and secondary amines, and the 1,1-addition of P-H bonds from primary phosphines, across the C[double bond, length as m-dash]B double bond of a transient cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene (CAAC)-stabilized arylborylene. This transient borylene species displays remarkable ambiphilicity, enabling selective, metal-free activation of amines and phosphines. Mechanistic studies reveal distinct activation pathways dictated by the electronic and steric properties of the substrates, highlighting the unique reactivity of CAAC-stabilized borylenes.
