Bioinspired total synthesis of (+)-pleuromutilin.
Article in Nature communications, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
(+)-Pleuromutilin, a natural antibiotic, possesses an intriguing and complex 5/6/8 tricyclic skeleton with densely packed functional groups. It attracts extensive attention in the field of total synthesis due to its promising antibacterial activity and distinctive structural framework. Here we report the total synthesis of (+)-pleuromutilin inspired by its biosynthetic pathway, which expands the available toolbox, particularly by providing a practical and efficient entry to (+)-12-epi-mutilin. The key steps of the synthesis include a t-BuOK-catalyzed Michael addition to establish the C9 quaternary center, a LiDBB-promoted reductive coupling to construct the five-membered ring, and a bioinspired Zn-mediated Barbier reaction to connect C11 and C12, ultimately enabling the construction of the eight‑membered ring. Starting from (+)-pulegone, we accomplish the total synthesis of (+)-pleuromutilin in 18 steps and (+)-12-epi-mutilin in 16 steps, respectively.
