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

Heteroaromatic scaffolds are central to modern medicinal chemistry. Methods that can reconfigure the core heterocycle of a molecule while preserving its substitution pattern would greatly streamline analogue synthesis and bioisosteric replacement. Yet, direct heterocycle-to-heterocycle interconversions remain rare. Here we report a photochemical strategy that directly converts pyrazoles into imidazoles with broad functional-group tolerance and full retention of peripheral substitution. The reaction is effective across densely substituted and bicyclic systems and extends to pyrazolo[1,5-
