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

Noncanonical amino acids play a critical role in enhancing drug efficacy, specificity, pharmacokinetics, and other key therapeutic properties. However, their incorporation into peptides or small molecules often presents significant synthetic challenges. Late-stage modification of natural residues, after the primary structural framework of a molecule is established, offers an efficient strategy for generating analogue libraries. Serine, one of the most abundant natural amino acids, remains underutilized due to the incompatibility of existing deoxygenative methods with complex peptides. Currently, no method is available for the late-stage modification of serine residues in peptides through carbon-carbon bond formation. Here, we address this gap by developing a site-selective, late-stage deoxygenative functionalization of serine residues. Inspired by automated DNA synthesis, we employ a phosphoramidite reagent in combination with a photocatalytic system to achieve efficient serine deoxygenative activation and radical addition to diverse acceptors, enabling the transformation of serine into various noncanonical residues such as homoglutamine, homoglutamic acid, 5-hydroxynorvaline, phosphonates, and alanine-3-
