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

Cyclic imines are common intermediates in the biosynthesis of alkaloids, but their use in enantioselective organic synthesis is limited by their high reactivity and tendency to trimerize. Here, we present a mild organocatalytic method for the stereoselective addition of malonates to cyclic imines. Under carefully optimized conditions that suppress background reactivity, cinchona alkaloid-derived catalysts enabled access to α-functionalized pyrrolidines and 5-6-5 and 6-6-5 tricycles in high yields and stereoselectivity. Mechanistic studies revealed that the catalyst controls the stereochemistry of the initial addition, while subsequent reactions are governed by the substrate. The total synthesis of the alkaloid Tetraponerine T-1, the shortest route reported to date, highlights the synthetic utility of the methodology.
