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

Visible light-induced dearomative cycloaddition has emerged as a powerful strategy for constructing complex polycyclic frameworks from simple aromatic precursors. Angularly fused polycyclic systems, which exhibit distinctive structural rigidity and tunable physicochemical properties, represent privileged scaffolds in bioactive natural products and pharmaceuticals. Herein, we report a robust photocatalytic protocol for the direct assembly of angularly fused tetracyclic scaffolds through intermolecular dearomatization of benzothiophene/indole derivatives with N-aryl cyclopropylamines. This transformation is achieved via a mechanistically intriguing cascade involving photocatalytic dearomative [3 + 2] cycloaddition and subsequent cyclization. This work demonstrates the synthetic feasibility of photocatalytic intermolecular dearomative [3 + 2] processes, providing direct access to structurally distinct angularly fused tetracyclic cores.
