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

A new diazo derivative of a pyrrolidine-2,5-dione (8) fused at position-3,4 to a dibenzobarrelene backbone has been prepared by coupling the previously reported N-arylsuccinimid (5) precursor with aryldiazonium ion of aniline. The initial step of the reaction involved the preparation of the intermediate 9,10-dihydro-9,10-ethanoanthracene-11,12-dicarboxylic anhydride (3) through [4 + 2]-cycloaddition between anthracene and maleic anhydride in refluxing xylene which was then condensed with para-aminophenol to give compound 5. Compounds 5 and 8 were characterized by their physical, elemental, and spectroscopic data. 2D-NMR (COSY, HSQC, and HMBC) techniques were used to confirm the structure of compound 5. Compounds 5 (MIC = 32-128 μg/mL) and 8 (MIC = 16-256 μg/mL) along with the precursor 3 (MIC = 64-128 μg/mL) displayed moderate to low antimicrobial activities against selected bacterial and fungal species when compared with those of nystatin (MIC = 0.50-2 μg/mL) and ciprofloxacin (MIC = 0.50-16 μg/mL) used as reference drugs.
