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

Organic electrosynthesis opens novel routes for pharmaceutical production; however, limited knowledge and experience with the scale up of this technique have hindered its industrial implementation. In this work, we report a kilogram-scale flow electrochemical Ni-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling (XEC) to prepare a key intermediate in the synthesis of the toll-like receptor (TLR) 7/8 inhibitor afimetoran. We successfully demonstrate scalability across 2 orders of magnitude while maintaining reaction performance. We also conduct a continuous 120 h reaction, highlighting compatibility with industrially relevant time scales. Key design aspects of our custom parallel-plate reactor are discussed that enabled kilogram-scale synthesis with a single electrode stack. This report showcases that with proper reaction engineering, electrochemical Ni-catalyzed XEC is a viable alternative to existing Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling methods.
