Polypharmacology: promises and new drugs in 2022.
Review in Pharmacological reports : PR, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 37 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
Polypharmacology is an emerging strategy of design, synthesis, and clinical implementation of pharmaceutical agents that act on multiple targets simultaneously. It should not be mixed up with polytherapy, which is based on the use of multiple selective drugs and is considered a cornerstone of current clinical practice. However, this 'classic' approach, when facing urgent medical challenges, such as multifactorial diseases, increasing resistance to pharmacotherapy, and multimorbidity, seems to be insufficient. The 'novel' polypharmacology concept leads to a more predictable pharmacokinetic profile of multi-target-directed ligands (MTDLs), giving a chance to avoid drug-drug interactions and improve patient compliance due to the simplification of dosing regimens. Plenty of recently marketed drugs interact with multiple biological targets or disease pathways. Many offer a significant additional benefit compared to the standard treatment regimens. In this paper, we will briefly outline the genesis of polypharmacology and its differences to polytherapy. We will also present leading concepts for obtaining MTDLs. Subsequently, we will describe some successfully marketed drugs, the mechanisms of action of which are based on the interaction with multiple targets. To get an idea, of whether MTDLs are indeed important in contemporary pharmacology, we also carefully analyzed drugs approved in 2022 in Germany: 10 out of them were found multi-targeting, including 7 antitumor agents, 1 antidepressant, 1 hypnotic, and 1 drug indicated for eye disease.
