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

Bromination or subsequent reactions followed by bromination have become easier and more convenient after the invention of N-bromoamides. As a brominating agent, molecular bromine has limitations like decomposition, volatility, high reactivity, and toxicity. Hence, N-bromoamides have emerged as a widely used laboratory reagent for bromination. Among the other N-bromoamides, N-bromosuccinimide (also called NBS) is the most commonly used laboratory reagent. Apart from its most common use in allylic/benzylic bromination and as an electrophilic brominating agent, this reagent has paved its way through various rearrangements, hydrolysis, multicomponent reaction, C─C bond cleavage of β-keto amides, benzylic bromination, stereoselective synthesis, oxidation, catalysis, aromatization, and one-pot tandem reaction. The present review will highlight applications of NBS in organic chemistry apart from bromination. It will focus on how this reagent facilitates various chemical transformations, thereby proving its versatility beyond a mere brominating agent.
