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

Natural products are increasingly being considered "critical and important" in drug discovery paradigms as a number of them such as camptothecin, penicillin, and vincristine serve as "lead molecules" for the discovery of potent compounds of therapeutic interests namely irinotecan, penicillin G, vinblastine respectively. Derived compounds of pharmacological interests displayed a wide variety of activity viz. anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anti-protozoal, etc.; when modifications or derivatizations are performed on a parent moiety representing the corresponding derivatives. Pyridoacridine is such a moiety which forms the basic structure of numerous medicinally important natural products such as, but not limited to, amphimedine, ascididemin, eilatin, and sampangine. Interestingly, synthetic analogues of natural pyridoacridine exhibit diverse pharmacological activities and in view of these, natural pyridoacridines can be considered as "lead compounds". This review additionally provides a brief but critical account of inherent structure activity relationships among various subclasses of pyridoacridines. Furthermore, the current aspects and future prospects of natural pyridoacridines are detailed for further reference and consideration.
