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

It has been repeatedly reported that nitazoxanide (NTZ) exhibits a wide range of antiviral activities against various viral infections and has shown antimicrobial properties against anaerobic bacteria, helminths and protozoa. To improve these properties, three novel metal complexes were synthesized. The bidentate characteristic of the NTZ ligand was characterized by different spectroscopic techniques, including Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), thermogravimetric, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and UV - visible spectroscopy. The geometries of the formed compounds were evaluated by density functional theory, and the results revealed that NTZ-Ru(III) has an octahedral geometry, while NTZ-Au(III) and NTZ-Ag(I) complexes have distorted square planar structures. Binding between the metal complexes and calf thymus DNA (Ct-DNA) has been studied via absorption spectra. Moreover, human albumen serum (HAS) titration has been carried out to test their susceptibility to interact with a major target molecule via absorption and fluorescence spectroscopic techniques.
