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

Substituted arenes underpin pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and functional materials, yet conventional arene functionalization is often constrained by the substitution pattern of the starting ring. Benzannulation addresses this limitation by assembling aromatic cores from acyclic or nonaromatic precursors via metalcatalyzed cascades, pericyclic processes, radical cyclizations, and benzyne-based manifolds. This review highlights developments reported over the last 5 years and compares transition-metal-catalyzed and metal-free strategies in terms of bond-forming logic, regioselectivity, the functional-group tolerance, and mechanism. Design principles that enable step economy and improved sustainability are discussed, providing practical guidance for selecting and designing benzannulation routes to access complex substituted arenes.
