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

ortho-Boryl nitroarenes have vast applications as building blocks in organic synthesis. Traditional methods of synthesizing these compounds require an ortho-halo nitroarene starting material and often stringent conditions. Directed ortho-borylation of nitroarenes presents an alternative, attractive strategy that could utilize simple nitroarenes as a feedstock. Herein, we report a cationic iridium pre-catalyst and triarylarsine ligands as competent catalyst systems that selectively borylate nitroarenes at the ortho position. This nitro-directed C-H borylation tolerates a wide range of substrates, providing access to diverse ortho-boryl nitroarenes in high yield that can either be isolated directly or reacted without purification to provide functionalized nitroarenes. Finally, we also demonstrate that ortho-boryl nitroarenes can serve as a platform for the synthesis of diverse aromatic products, including in the preparation of 1,2-difunctionalized arenes.
