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

This study is a report on the anti-Leishmania activity of Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) homodimers adducts against the promastigote and axenic amastigote forms of Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum and Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis and on the cytotoxicity of these adducts to human blood cells. Both studied homodimers, MBH 1 and MBH 2, showed activity against the promastigote forms of L. infantum and L. amazonensis, which are responsible for visceral and cutaneous leishmaniasis, respectively. Additionally, the homodimers presented biological activity against the axenic amastigote forms of these two Leishmania species. The adducts exhibited no hemolytic activity to human peripheral blood mononuclear cells or erythrocytes at the tested concentrations and achieved higher selectivity indices than amphotericin B. Evaluation of cell death by apoptosis revealed that the homodimers had better apoptosis/necrosis profiles than amphotericin B in the promastigote forms of both L. infantum and L. amazonensis. In conclusion, these Morita-Baylis-Hillman adducts had anti-Leishmania activity in an in vitro model and may thus be promising molecules in the search for new drugs to treat leishmaniasis.
