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

Organic photocatalysts capable of promoting high-energy triplet energy transfer (EnT) remain limited, particularly for demanding [2+2] photocycloaddition reactions. In this study, we report the use of readily accessible N-aryl acridones as efficient visible-light-driven organic photocatalysts for challenging EnT processes. Although largely unexplored in photocatalysis, acridone derivatives exhibit photophysical properties suitable for sensitizing substrates with high triplet energies. Using N-Boc-indole-2-methyl ester and coumarin as representative high-triplet-energy substrates, we demonstrate that N-aryl acridones effectively mediate [2+2] cycloadditions under mild conditions via an energy-transfer mechanism. The modular acridone scaffold enables straightforward structural modification through N-functionalization, allowing systematic tuning of electronic and steric parameters to optimize catalytic performance.
