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

We report our quest toward the total synthesis of the reported structure of the sesquiterpene pestalustaine A and its unprecedented tricyclic skeleton. Our retrosynthesis involved a transannular Michael addition of a 1,3-keto-ester and enal-containing bicyclo[4.4.1]undec-3-ene obtained from the ring expansion of a chiral γ,γ-disubstituted cyclohexanone and stereoselective Hosomi-Sakurai reaction. Serendipity allowed us to uncover powerful divergent and unexpected cyclizations of this bicycle in ionic or oxidative conditions, giving access to complex tricyclic architectures such as tricyclo[5.2.1.1
