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

Two novel urushiols, 1 and 2, and two known urushiols, 3 and 4, were isolated from the leaves of Rhus verniciflua and were examined for their human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) reverse transcriptase (RT) inhibitory activity. The novel urushiols were found to be 1,2-dihydroxyphenyl-3-[7'(E),9'(Z),11'(Z)-pentadecatrienyl]-14'-ol (1) and 1,2-dihydroxyphenyl-3-[8'(Z),10'(E),12'(E)-pentadecatrienyl]-14'-ol (2) by spectroscopic analyses. The absolute configuration at C-14' in 1 and 2 was determined to be a racemic mixture of (R) and (S) isomers by ozonolysis. Compound 2 (IC50: 12.6 µM) showed the highest HIV-1 RT inhibitory activity among the four urushiols, being 2.5-fold more potent than the positive control, adriamycin (IC50: 31.9 µM). Although the known urushiols were isolated from the sap and leaves of R. verniciflua, 1 was exclusively present in the leaves, and higher amounts of 2 were found in the leaves than in the sap. Present findings indicate that the leaves of R. verniciflua represent a new biological resource from which novel and known urushiols may be prepared, and the possible use of novel urushiols as bioactive products.
