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

Natural olefins, especially terpenic ones, are widely distributed in the plant kingdom as a renewable resource alternative to the petroleum-based hydrocarbon industry and a key strategic pathway toward net-zero emissions by 2050. Their structural complexity allows for conversion into valuable intermediates for fine chemicals, flavors, fragrances, pharmaceuticals and biofuels. Precise functionalization methods are essential to transform these natural products into useful building blocks, notably through regioselective functionalization of biogenic alkenes. Among the pathways, selective chlorination of terpenic olefins has garnered special interest, employing various synthetic approaches using potential chlorinating agents. This reaction affords a range of chlorinated products with strong electrophilic character, particularly allylic and vinylic chlorides as highly reactive intermediates in organic synthesis for applications in agrochemicals, bioactive compounds, polymers and pharmaceuticals. It is a key pathway for the valorization of biomass-derived terpenes into chiral building blocks, contributing to the circular economy and sustainable chemistry. This is a thorough and up-to-date review on the selective chlorination reaction, outlining (i) the general chemistry of olefin chlorination and chlorinating agents, (ii) systematic comparison of catalytic chlorination pathways, particularly Lewis acid (
