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

We report an efficient total synthesis of (±)-phaeocaulisin A, a guaianolide sesquiterpene natural product possessing a complex tetracyclic skeleton embedded with an oxaspirolactone and a fused bicyclic lactone, four oxygen-containing stereocenters, and an 8-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]octane core. Our synthesis features a novel palladium-catalyzed cyclopropanol ring-opening carbonylation to access a key γ-ketoester, a chemo- and stereoselective aldol cyclization to form the seven-membered carbocycle, and a cascade ketalization-lactonization to construct the desired tetracyclic skeleton. With these strategically important C-C and C-O bond formation transformations, a 10-step total synthesis of (±)-phaeocaulisin A was achieved. We further developed the cyclopropanol ring-opening carbonylation chemistry to provide an alternative approach to prepare γ-ketoesters. Biologically, the penultimate intermediate with an α-methylene γ-butyrolactone moiety was identified as a promising lead compound with anticancer proliferation activity against a panel of triple-negative or HER2+ breast cancer cell lines.
