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 biosynthetic pathways leading to pseudoguaianolides and seco-guaianolides remain unclear. In this work, we demonstrate that highly oxidized 8,12-guaianolides serve as unprecedented precursors, enabling chemoselective, one-step access to pseudoguaianolide, seco-guaianolide, and xanthanolide-type sesquiterpenoids. Key mechanistic insights reveal the pivotal role of peroxide substituents on the guaianolide core and stereoelectronic factors in controlling reaction outcomes. These findings shed light on guaianolide selectivity and may mirror actual biosynthetic pathways, offering transformative potential for oxidative transformations in sesquiterpenoid synthesis.
