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

Mounting evidence indicates that single-target drugs might be inadequate to achieve satisfactory therapeutic effects on complex diseases. Recently, increasing attention has been paid to developing drugs that can manipulate multiple targets to generate beneficial effects through potential synergy. G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) become desirable targets for developing multitarget-directed ligands (MTDLs) because of their crucial roles in the pathophysiology of various human diseases and the accessibility of druggable sites at the cell surface. Herein, we review the most recent advances in the development of GPCR-targeted MTDLs in treating complex diseases, and discuss their potential therapeutic strategies to reveal current trends and shed insights into the utility of GPCR-targeted MTDLs for future drug design and development.
