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

Hormones like testosterone and progesterone in the humans play significant role in the regulation of various biological processes like the body growth, reproduction, and others. In last two decades, researchers are using ionic liquids (ILs) extensively in different areas of sciences, and they are a novel class of compounds as well as their polarity can be tuned. ILs are multidisciplinary in nature and can be used in chemistry, materials science, chemical engineering, and environmental science. Further, ILs are being explored to increase the solubility of drugs or biological potential molecules. Testosterone and progesterone are found to be not very polar in nature; therefore, the authors attempt to increase the solubility of testosterone and progesterone via interaction with ILs. It was studied with density functional theory calculations using Gaussian, and an increase in the value of dipole moment is observed for the complex of testosterone/progesterone with the ILs in comparison of individual one. The optimization energy and other thermodynamic energies of the ILs (IL1-IL3), testosterone (T), testosterone-IL (T-IL1 to T-IL3), progesterone (P), and progesterone-ILs (P-IL1 to P-IL3) are found to be negative. Further, the change in free energy for the formation of complexes at room temperature is calculated. Further, the authors have investigated the synergistic effect of testosterone and progesterone against the main protease of new coronavirus using molecular docking. It is observed that the testosterone-
