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

The atypical chemokine receptor CXCR7 has been studied in various disease settings including immunological diseases and heart disease. Efforts to elucidate the role of CXCR7 have been limited by the lack of suitable chemical tools with a range of pharmacological profiles. A high-throughput screen was conducted to discover novel chemical matter with the potential to modulate CXCR7 receptor activity. This led to the identification of a series of diphenylacetamides confirmed in a CXCL12 competition assay indicating receptor binding. Further evaluation of this series revealed a lack of activity in the functional assay measuring β-arrestin recruitment. The most potent representative, compound
