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

Pyrene-4,5-dione (PQ) is demonstrated to be a metal-free, visible-light organic photocatalyst capable of mediating four major photochemical activation modes: photooxidation, energy transfer, photoredox, and hydrogen atom transfer (HAT). Under mild conditions using blue LEDs, PQ enables diverse synthetic transformations, including singlet oxygen oxidations, [2 + 2] cycloadditions, C-H fluorination, reductive C-C bond formation, oxidative hydroxylation of boronic acids, and HAT-driven alkylation. Its performance is comparable to benchmark systems, while offering the advantages of visible-light absorption and a greener profile compared to typical metal-complex photocatalysts. PQ can be recovered chromatographically (typically 85-90% mass recovery) with no evidence of structural change or degradation. Further, as a proof-of-concept, the reductive C-C coupling was performed in continuous flow, delivering up to 85% yield at 0.17 mmol h
