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 simple and efficient transformation of thiol and thiocarbonylthio functional groups to bromides using stable and commercially available brominating reagents. This procedure allows for the quantitative conversion of a range of small molecule thiols (including primary, secondary and tertiary) to the corresponding bromides under mild conditions, as well as the facile chain-end modification of polystyrene (PS) homopolymers and block copolymers prepared by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. Specifically, the direct chain-end bromination of PS prepared by RAFT was achieved, where the introduced terminal bromide remained active for subsequent modification or chain-extension using classical atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). This transformation sets the foundation for bridging RAFT and ATRP, two of the most widely used controlled radical polymerization (CRP) strategies, and enables the preparation of chain-end functionalized block copolymers not directly accessible using a single CRP technique.
