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

Mn-catalyzed C-H bond functionalization offers great potential in the synthesis of highly functionalized aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds, involving the intermediacy of manganacycles and their interception through reactions with appropriate acceptor compounds. The coumarin motif is widely embedded in an eclectic array of compounds possessing interesting biological and photophysical properties. In this study, we examined the effect of changing the position of a manganese 2-pyridyl-directing group from C3 to C4 on a coumarin moiety, directing C4-H functionalization or C3-H functionalization, respectively. The reactions of cyclomanganated intermediates with phenylacetylene have been studied using time-resolved infrared spectroscopic methods on a pico- to microsecond time scale, unraveling the bond-forming processes that underpin the differing site C-H bond functionalizations. The findings facilitated the development of a catalytic methodology for the C3-alkenylation of a 4-(2-pyridyl)-coumarin using phenylacetylene.
