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

Human neutrophil elastase (HNE) is a serine protease that is expressed in polymorphonuclear neutrophils. It has been recognized as an important therapeutic target for treating inflammatory diseases, especially related to the respiratory system, but also for various types of cancer. Thus, compounds able to inhibit HNE are of great interest in medicinal chemistry. In the present paper, we report the synthesis and biological evaluation of a new series of HNE inhibitors with an innovative 1,5,6,7-tetrahydro-4H-indazol-4-one core that was developed as a molecular modification of our previously reported indazole-based HNE inhibitors. Since the 1,5,6,7-tetrahydro-4H-indazol-4-one scaffold can occur in two possible tautomeric forms, the acylation/alkylation reactions resulted in a mixture of the two isomers, often widely unbalanced in favor of one form. Using analytical techniques and NMR spectroscopy, we characterized and separated the isomer pairs and confirmed the compounds used in biological testing. Analysis of the compounds for HNE inhibitory activity showed that they were potent inhibitors, with K
