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

Radical-mediated selenylation has emerged as a powerful strategy for constructing carbon-selenium bonds. While effective for generating aryl selenyl radicals, current approaches for producing alkyl selenyl radicals remain underdeveloped. In this study, we present a mechanochemical approach that enables the modular generation of alkyl selenyl radicals from elemental selenium and alkyl halides, thereby advancing the hydroselenation of alkenes. The modular generation of alkyl selenyl radicals utilizes abundant and commercially available alkyl (pseudo)halides as radical precursors, activated through mechanical force to overcome selenium's inherent inertness. The reaction proceeds under ambient conditions with minimal solvent usage, achieving a broad substrate scope encompassing alkyl iodides, bromides, chlorides, and sulfonates. Notably, mechanistic experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicate that both PhSiH
