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

Organocalcium reagents possess a reactivity profile distinct from that of classical organolithium and Grignard reagents, yet their synthetic potential remains underexplored. Here we report that mechanochemically generated organocalcium species exhibit an unusual chemoselectivity toward carboxylate salts, enabling the direct and selective transformation of carboxylates into ketones without overaddition, a persistent limitation of conventional organometallic chemistry. Commercially available calcium metal is directly activated by ball milling with aryl iodides to generate reactive organocalcium intermediates under solvent-minimized and ambient conditions. This protocol exhibits broad substrate scope, excellent chemoselectivity, and high functional-group tolerance. Moreover, the reaction can be extended to the direct use of carboxylic acids, enabling a one-step synthesis of pharmaceutically and industrially relevant ketones.
