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 detailed molecular mechanism proposed for the MAO-catalyzed oxidation of amines has been controversial with the basic assumption that both MAO A and MAO B follow the same pathway for the C-H bond cleavage step. Using the mechanistic approach of investigation of electronic effects of various benzylamine ring substituents in experiments at pH 9.0, human MAO A exhibits a kinetic behavior characteristic of an H(+) abstraction, while human MAO B exhibits kinetic properties characteristic of a H(-) abstraction. These results lead to the conclusion that the assumption that MAO A and MAO B follow identical mechanisms is incorrect.
