Synthesis of oxygenated oleanolic and ursolic acid derivatives with anti-inflammatory properties.
Article in Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
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.
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 scalable syntheses of four oxygenated triterpenes have been implemented to access substantial quantities of maslinic acid, 3-epi-maslinic acid, corosolic acid, and 3-epi-corosolic acid. Semi-syntheses proceed starting from the natural products oleanolic acid and ursolic acid. Proceeding over five steps, each of the four compounds can be synthesized on the gram scale. Divergent diastereoselective reductions of α-hydroxy ketones provided access to the four targeted diol containing compounds from two precursors of the oleanane or ursane lineage. These compounds were subsequently evaluated for their ability to inhibit inflammatory gene expression in a mouse model of chemically induced skin inflammation. All compounds possessed the ability to inhibit the expression of one or more inflammatory genes induced by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13 acetate in mouse skin, however, three of the compounds, corosolic acid, 3-epi-corosolic acid and maslinic acid were more effective than the others. The availability of gram quantities will allow further testing of these compounds for potential anti-inflammatory activities as well as cancer chemopreventive activity.
