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

Despite the increasing prevalence of overweight or obesity in the global population, most of the approved drugs for obesity are still not ideal for long-term use due to severe cardiovascular and/or neurological side effects. Therefore, we designed a library-implemented virtual screening (VS) approach to discover new anti-obesity agents without significant toxicity. The Bayesian classification and 3D pharmacophore model for the VS process were built by using the screening results of our in-house library of natural piper amide-like compounds, which possess a wide range of biological activities and relatively low toxicities. The VS process identified six compounds of different classes with enhanced inhibitory activities against lipid accumulation and without toxicity. Moreover, the most active compound with an oxadiazole scaffold resulted in weight loss and improved the fatty liver condition of mice with overnutrition in animal experiments.
