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

Metallocarbenes are powerful intermediates for constructing complex molecular architectures, yet their generation typically relies on hazardous diazo or ylide precursors. We report photocatalytic and electrochemical strategies for direct carbene formation from unmodified carbonyl compounds using a low-valent iron system. The reaction proceeds through net oxidative addition of Fe(I) into the carbonyl bond, followed by α-protonation and α-elimination to generate a reactive Fe-carbene intermediate. This platform enables cyclopropanation of diverse alkenes─including complex, drug-like, and amino-acid-derived substrates─under mild conditions, delivering highly functionalized, sp
