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

Skeletal editing has emerged as a powerful strategy for organic synthesis, addressing a long-standing synthetic challenge between molecular scaffolds. In recent years, skeletal editing (insertion, deletion, and swap) undergoes rapid evolution and realizes many remarkable transformations between basic or complex molecular skeletons. Different from atom insertion and deletion reactions, atom swap reactions enable selective exchange of atoms in a single step. Among existing atom swap strategies, the editing of aromatic scaffolds has been extensively studied, while the editing of aliphatic scaffolds remains limited to only a few reports. Tetrahydrofuran rings, as one of the most common aliphatic scaffolds, are highly attractive targets for conversion into high-value pyrrolidines. Herein, we report a practical and straightforward method to convert tetrahydrofurans to N-acyl pyrrolidines using nitriles as the nitrogen source, achieving oxygen-to-nitrogen (O-to-N) atom swap in one step.
