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

Diethyl succinate (DEtS) synthesis by lipase-catalyzed direct esterification was successfully carried out in succinic acid (SA):trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO) mixtures acting as reactive deep eutectic solvents (rDES). By this strategy, the succinic acid concentration in this non-aqueous eutectic mixture reaches up to 1.92 M at room temperature, enabling a suitable reaction system for the biocatalytic double esterification of SA with ethanol (EtOH) to yield DEtS. The best results were obtained when using an SA:TOPO equimolar ratio and a stepwise addition of EtOHinto the reaction system, leading to 92% SA conversion and 60% selectivity for the DEtS product synthesis after 20 h at 60 °C. For the subsequent pure product separation, the direct addition of dimethyl sulfoxide into the reaction system provokes TOPO crystallization, which is easily removed by filter centrifugation at room temperature. This novel approach, TOPO-based rDES, has been demonstrated as a green and low-waste strategy for biocatalytic diester synthesis under mild conditions, validated by green metrics.
