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

Difluoromethylated compounds are of high importance for pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries; however, access to these structures remains limited due to the scarcity of reliable synthetic methods for their formation. This work presents a straightforward electrochemical synthesis of difluoromethyl-substituted alcohol building blocks via the selective monodefluorination of trifluoromethyl arenes with concomitant hydroxymethylation. The transformation proceeds with high chemoselectivity for a range of trifluoromethyl arene substrates under mild conditions. Mechanistic studies suggest that the reaction relies on reductive radical-polar crossover to furnish a key carbanion intermediate.
