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

Developments in Suzuki-Miyaura (SM) couplings are discussed from a historical standpoint as they are especially valued C-C bond-forming reactions in the fine chemicals industry today. However, discussion from the increasingly important standpoint of sustainability is also considered when looking for conditions leading to the perfect coupling. Thus, several procedures now exist leading to the desired SM couplings, which reproducibly occur in or on water, rather than in traditional, petroleum-based organic solvents. Moreover, procedures based on low loadings of palladium catalysts are also in hand that ensure that this precious and, at one time, endangered metal will be available indefinitely. In addition, the beginning of a new series of ligands is discussed that, from a life cycle assessment perspective, meet the required criteria (including method of formation, avoidance of intellectual property (IP) issues, number of steps involved, cost, and effectiveness) and should, therefore, feature prominently in the development of SM couplings. This goal may even be more attainable considering the recently reported use of "on dirty water" conditions, which enables close-to-neat reactions to be combined with a highly concentrated "on water" effect.
