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

Nicotinic acid has been used clinically for decades to control serum lipoproteins. Nicotinic acid lowers very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL)-cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol, and lipoprotein-a (LPa), and it is also effective in raising high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol. However, nicotinic acid has several side effects in clinical use. The most notable is intense cutaneous vasodilation "flushing" on the upper body and face. We discovered a pyranopyrimidinedione series to be nicotinic acid receptor agonists. A potent nicotinic acid receptor agonist from this series {5-(3-cyclopropylpropyl)-2-(difluoromethyl)-3H-pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidine-4,7-dione}with reduced flushing side effect in dogs was identified.
