Transformation of alkyl and aryl halides into alcohols, thiols and thiophenols.
Review in RSC advances, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Alcohols and thiols are key functionalities which are found in a wide variety of both natural and synthetic bioactive compounds. Additionally, they provide access to an array of other major functional groups, such as aldehydes, ketones, ethers, disulfides and sulfonamides to name but a few. The direct conversion of alkyl and aryl halides constitutes a useful and efficient means of preparing alcohols, thiols and thiophenols. This review summarises the different approaches that have been reported in the literature up to 2026, and includes the application of modern synthetic methods, such as electrochemical and photochemical techniques. In each section, the main features of the different strategies are discussed, while their advantages and disadvantages are captured in high-level summary tables. Accordingly, this review should serve as a useful overview of the current state-of-the-art while also helping to identify gaps for future investigation.
