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

A library of isomeric 2,4-diaminoquinazoline (DAQ) derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for antiaggregation potential toward Aβ40/42. Structure-activity relationship data identified compound 3k (N (4)-(4-bromobenzyl)quinazoline-2,4-diamine) with a 4-bromobenzyl substituent as the most potent inhibitor (Aβ40 IC50 = 80 nM) and was almost 18-fold more potent compared to the reference agent curcumin (Aβ40 IC50 = 1.5 μM). The corresponding N (2)-isomer 4k (N (2)-(4-bromobenzyl)quinazoline-2,4-diamine) was also able to prevent Aβ aggregation (Aβ40 IC50 = 1.7 μM). However, compound 4k exhibited superior inhibition of Aβ42 aggregation (Aβ42 IC50 = 1.7 μM) compared to compound 3k (Aβ42 IC50 = 14.8 μM) and was ∼1.8-fold more potent compared to curcumin (Aβ42 IC50 = 3.1 μM). These results were supported by Aβ aggregation kinetics investigations and transmission electron microscopy studies, which demonstrate the suitability of DAQ ring system to develop antiamyloid agents as pharmacological tools to study Aβ aggregation.
