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

Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme inhibitors have not eliminated the necessity for developed drugs not only in the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDs) area, but also in other therapeutic applications including prevention of cancer and Alzheimer's disease. A series of novel substituted cyclic imides have been reported as selective COX-2 inhibitors. To understand the structural features responsible for their activity, a 3D validated pharmacophore and quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) model have been developed. The values of enrichment factor (EF), goodness of hit score (GH), area under the ROC curve (AUC), sensitivity, and specificity refer to the good ability of the pharmacophore model to identify active compounds. Multiple linear regression (MLR) produced statistically significant QSAR model with (R
