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

We report a synergistic photoredox/copper-catalyzed radical cascade cyclization for the enantioselective synthesis of axially chiral medium-sized lactones. Compared with conventional ionic pathways that require stringent polarity matching and substrate prefunctionalization, the present strategy employs alkyl halides as radical precursors, wherein photoredox mediated single electron transfer (SET) generates radicals that undergo radical addition to non-polarized alkenes followed by C-O bond formation. High stereocontrol and efficiency are achieved through a carboxylate-coordinated chiral copper complex (up to 83% yield, up to 96% e.e., >20:1 d.r.). The synthetic utility is demonstrated by the late-stage diversification of bioactive molecules. Theoretical calculations reveal that the stereodetermining step occurs during C-O bond formation, and that thermodynamic stability facilitates a central-to-axial chirality relay, thereby governing axial stability in the flexible seven-membered scaffolds.
