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

Cyclopentadienes (CpHs) are fundamental building blocks across chemistry, yet their inherent acidity and tendency to undergo rapid [1,5]-hydrogen shifts have long limited access to structurally and configurationally stable chiral variants. Overcoming this intrinsic fluxionality remains a major synthetic challenge that limits the potential of CpHs in asymmetric synthesis. Here we present a CuH-catalyzed transformation that converts simple precursors into highly functionalized and enantioenriched CpHs in high yield and with exceptional enantioselectivity. Computations uncover the origins of the observed selectivity and show the reaction mechanism to involve a rare example of nitrile activation in Cu-catalysis. The disclosed new class of CpHs is unexpectedly stable, which was found to be attributed to a conjugated push-pull electronic effect that delineates a new general design principle for taming the intrinsic instability of CpHs.
