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

Nucleophilic allylation reactions mediated by indium have served admirably, particularly in the Barbier-type allylation of unprotected carbohydrates in protic media. Allylations of aldehydes, ketones, and hydrazones that are catalytic in indium have been described with In(III), In(I), and indium metal and have been extended to native carbohydrates in our recently reported indium metal-catalyzed allylation using allylboronic acid pinacol ester (allylBpin). Whereas the mechanism of the Barbier-type allylation has been thoroughly investigated (albeit not with carbohydrate substrates), mechanistic studies of the catalytic reactions are scarce. In this report, we disclose detailed mechanistic investigations of the indium metal-catalyzed allylation of sugars in water/methanol mixtures, which reveal four critical aspects: (1) the true catalyst is a soluble In(III) species generated in trace quantities from the oxide/hydroxide layer on the indium metal surface under the reaction conditions, (2) the S-shaped kinetic profile observed with indium metal is explained by autoinduction as the combination of boric acid and the allylated product (1-allylsorbitol) lowers the reaction pH thereby increasing the concentration of soluble indium(III), (3) the active nucleophiles are monoallylindium(III) or diallylindium(III) intermediates (as characterized by
