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 growing demand for green solvents to replace petroleum-derived counterparts in organic synthesis has garnered significant attention, driven by the need for more sustainable production processes. In this context, organic carbonates (OCs) have emerged as prominent alternatives to toxic solvents that pose risks to human health and the environment. This review presents recent advances in the application of major dialkyl carbonates, namely dimethyl carbonate (DMC), diethyl carbonate (DEC), and propylene carbonate (PC), as solvents in organic synthesis. By discussing more than seventy papers from the past 6 years, we demonstrate the rising importance of this solvent class, which has transitioned from exotic adjuvants to essential components of modern synthetic methodologies. Through a compilation and analysis of the recent literature, this review aims to serve as a comprehensive resource for synthetic chemists, underscoring the potential of OCs to pave the way for safer and more sustainable synthesis.
