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

Olefins are a privileged motif present in natural products and pharmaceuticals and serve as reliable entry points for oxygen installation in total synthesis. While dehydrogenation is an efficient strategy to forge olefins in complex organic molecules, limitations of current methods restrict its broader use as a stepping stone toward net site-selective oxidation. Here, we show that catalyst-controlled, site-selective dehydrogenation of multiple β,γ- and γ,δ-C-H bonds, enabled by distinct palladium and copper catalysts, allows oxidation at multiple sites. This approach enables stereo- and/or regioselective oxidation of C-H and C-C double bonds, including oxidation of sterically hindered C-H bonds over more accessible ones in diterpenes. These transformations are not readily achieved using existing chemical or enzymatic methods. The utility of this strategy is demonstrated through the synthesis of ten natural products.
