Persistent Boryl Radicals as Highly Reducing Photoredox Catalysts for Debrominative Borylations.
Article in Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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.
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
Organic free radicals are commonly perceived to be highly reactive species with short lifetimes, yet there are many examples that defy this convention by displaying remarkable stability. Although these persistent radicals can be relatively unreactive in their ground states, photoexcitation can generate highly reactive excited states. Despite this, they have found limited application as reagents or catalysts in photochemical reactions. Here we report the identification of persistent boryl-bipyridine radicals that function as highly reducing photoredox catalysts. These radicals, which are generated by simply mixing a bipyridine with a diboron reagent, were found to possess excited state reduction potentials that rival the most powerful photoreductants reported to date. We show that this class of doublet state photoredox catalyst can promote borylations of alkyl bromides and various other transformations.
