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 series of natural products-based phenyl sulfone derivative and their property-based analogues were investigated as potential growth inhibitors of Trypanosoma brucei. Trypanosoma brucei is a kinetoplastid protozoan parasite that causes trypanosomiasis. In this work, we found that nopol- and quinoline-based phenyl sulfone derivative were the most active and selective for T. brucei, and they were not reactive towards the active thiol of T. brucei's cysteine protease rhodesain. A thiol reactive variant of the quinoline-based phenyl sulfone was subsequently investigated and found to be a moderate inhibitor of rhodesain. The quinoline-based compound that is not reactive towards rhodesain can serve a template for phenotypic-based lead discovery while its thiol-active congener can serve as template for structure-based investigation of new antitrypanosomal agents.
