Acute toxicity and genotoxicity studies on new melatonergic antidepressant GW117.
Article in Heliyon, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
GW117, a novel derivate compound of agomelatine that acts as both a 5-HT2C receptor antagonist and a MT1/MT2 receptor agonist, likely underlines the potent antidepressant action with less hepatotoxicity than agomelatine. We evaluated the acute toxicity of GW117, and the genotoxicity of GW117 using bacterial reverse mutation test, mammalian chromosomal aberration test in Chinese hamster lung cells (CHL) and mouse bone marrow micronucleus test. The acute toxicity test results showed that maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of GW117 was 2000 mg/kg, under which mean C
