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

Leishmaniasis is a vector-borne neglected parasitic infection affecting thousands of individuals, mostly among populations in low- to moderate-income developing countries. In the absence of protective vaccines, the management of the disease banks solely on chemotherapy. However, the clinical usefulness of current antileishmanial drugs is threatened by their toxicity and the emergence of multidrug-resistant strains of the causative pathogens. This emphasizes the imperative for the development of new and effective antileishmanial agents. In this regard, we synthesized and evaluated in vitro the antileishmanial activity and cytotoxicity profile of a series of nitrofurantoin-triazole hybrids. The nitrofurantoin derivative 1 featuring propargyl moiety was distinctively the most active of all, was nontoxic to human cells and possessed submicromolar cellular activity selectively directed towards the pathogens of the life threatening visceral leishmaniasis. Hence it was identified as potential antileishmanial lead for further investigation into its prospective to act as alternative to therapies.
