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

Thiocarbamates are a major class of herbicides that were used extensively in the agricultural industry. Toxicological evaluation showed molinate caused reproductive impairment in male rats, whilst others produced behavioural effects at high doses. Rats dosed with molinate either as a single large oral dose of 100 mg/kg or as multiple doses of 50 mg/kg for 7 days produced inhibition of brain acetylcholinesterase (AChE). Molinate and other thiocarbamate herbicides undergo metabolism to form sulphoxides that can carbamoylate thiol's such as glutathione and proteins. We have chemically synthesised the sulphoxide and sulphone metabolites of six thiocarbamate herbicides and examined their ability to inhibit rat brain and human red cell AChE
