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

A photoredox-neutral approach to cyclopropanes from in situ generated non-stabilized carbenes via a new acridine-iron dual catalytic system is reported. This strategy merges the oxidative decarboxylation of bench-stable carboxylic acids with the reduction of an iron porphyrin under mild photochemical conditions. Bespoke acridine photocatalysts efficiently shuttle electrons between carboxylic acids and iron complexes, obviating the need for a sacrificial reductant. Mechanistic studies reveal that, contrary to prevailing assumptions, decarboxylation does not proceed through a concerted PCET pathway but instead via a stepwise proton transfer followed by a highly exergonic electron transfer and decarboxylation event. Density functional theory calculations further support the formation of a key Fe(IV)-carbenoid intermediate, which engages alkenes through a stepwise, radical-type carbene transfer mechanism.
