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

The Groebke-Blackburn-Bienaymé reaction (GBBR) is used for the one-pot synthesis of therapeutically relevant fused imidazoles bridgehead nitrogen heterocyclic compounds from readily available aldehyde, isocyanide and amidine building blocks. The reaction is driven by a wide range of catalysts and can be performed either under solvent or solvent-free conditions, or under microwave irradiation as heat source. The GBBR products can be used for the synthesis of a variety of more complex scaffolds via postmodification reactions. These include cyclization and nucleophilic substitution as well as further MCRs. The GBBR reaction has seen diverse applications in combinatorial and medicinal chemistry and its products are of great use in drug discovery. In this review, we summarize the efforts of the chemistry community in the progress and applications of GBBR since 1998. This review also includes some biological profiles and synthetic scopes of GBBR products. The component variations, postmodifications and secondary transformations will also be discussed throughout this review.
