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

The de Mayo reaction is a powerful photochemical method for skeletal editing, enabling rapid synthesis of 1,5-dicarbonyl compounds through formal addition of 1,3-dicarbonyl units across olefins. However, its regio- and chemoselectivity remain limited. Distinct aryl groups cannot be selectively installed on 1,5-diketones; substituents in 1-aryl-5-alkyl diketones favor the α-position of the aryl ketone; and electron-withdrawing groups from deficient olefins are generally restricted to the 3-position. Such olefins also favor radical addition and formal redox pathways over the desired reaction. Here, we introduce de Mayo reactions of readily accessible enaminoketones that overcome these limitations and directly furnish valuable cyclohexenone derivatives. Tuning the N-protecting group and using a chiral Brønsted acid catalyst enables proof-of-concept kinetic resolution of the imine intermediate formed after [2 + 2] cycloaddition. This regiospecific platform expands precise access to 1,5-diketones and related motifs relevant to pharmaceutical discovery, while broadening the synthetic scope of this established photochemical transformation under practical conditions.
