On the Thermodynamic Thermal Properties of Quercetin and Similar Pharmaceuticals.
Article in Molecules (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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.
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
The thermodynamic properties of pharmaceuticals are of major importance since they are involved in drug design, processing, optimization and modelling. In this study, a long-standing confusion regarding the thermodynamic properties of flavonoids and similar pharmaceuticals is recognized and clarified. As a case study, the thermal behavior of quercetin is examined with various techniques. It is shown that quercetin does not exhibit glass transition nor a melting point, but on the contrary, it does exhibit various thermochemical transitions (structural relaxation occurring simultaneously with decomposition). Inevitably, the physical meaning of the reported experimental values of the thermodynamic properties, such as the heat of fusion and heat capacity, are questioned. The discussion for this behavior is focused on the weakening of the chemical bonds. The interpretations along with the literature data suggest that the thermochemical transition might be exhibited by various flavonoids and other similar pharmaceuticals, and is related to the difficulty in the prediction/modelling of their melting point.
