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

Recent studies suggest that aliphatic β-nitro alcohols may represent a useful class of compounds for use as in vivo therapeutic corneoscleral cross-linking agents with higher order nitroalcohols (HONAs) showing enhanced efficacy over the mono-nitroalcohols. The current study was undertaken in order to evaluate the chemical stability of these compounds during storage conditions. Two mono-nitroalcohols (2-nitroethanol=2ne and 2-nitro-1-propanol = 2 nprop) and two HONAs, a nitrodiol (2-methyl-2-nitro-1,3-propanediol = MNPD), and a nitrotriol (2-hydroxymethyl-2-nitro-1,3-propanediol = HNPD) were monitored for chemical stability by (1)H-NMR for up to 7 months. Each compound was studied at two concentrations (1% and 10%) either in unbuffered H2O or 0.2 m NaH2 PO4/Na2 HPO4 (pH = 5), and at 0 °C and room temperature (RT) for a total of eight conditions for each compound. The (1)H-NMR spectra for the starting material were compared to subsequent spectra. Under all four of the conditions studied, both the nitrodiol (MNPD) and nitrotriol (HNPD) were stable for the duration of 7 months. 2nprop became unstable under all conditions at 3 months. 2ne was the most unstable of all the compounds tested. HONAs exhibit excellent chemical stability under long-term storage conditions. In contrast, the nitromonols tested are significantly less stable. These findings are relevant to the translation of this technology into clinical use.
