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

Achieving sufficient brain penetration to elicit efficacy in humans is one of the most challenging tasks for scientists in CNS Drug Discovery. Substantial progress has been made in the past decade in understanding the factors influencing the rate and extent of brain distribution via a variety of in vivo, in vitro and in silico methodologies, and hence, predict their likelihood of success in man. This purpose of this review is to summarize the current approaches with a special focus on parameters related to free drug concentrations in brain which are the most pharmacologically relevant for the majority of CNS disease targets. Due to the dynamic and complex nature of this targeted organ, it is inevitable that these approaches have not been able to provide a fully comprehensive assessment of brain distribution and are expected to evolve further in the years to come.
