Anti-inflammatory and arthritic activity of zaltoprofen compared to piroxicam in murine models.
Article in Bioinformation, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Zaltoprofen, a unique propionic acid group of NSAIDs, works by blocking the enhancing effects of bradykinin along with the COX-2 enzyme. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the acute and chronic anti-inflammatory (arthritic) potential of zaltoprofen versus piroxicam in Murine models. A total of 48 Wister rats (200-250 g) of either sex (24 in each model) were used in the present study. The anti-inflammatory and arthritic potential of zaltoprofen was evaluated and compared by Carrageenan-induced acute inflammation and formalin-induced chronic inflammation. There was a significant inhibition of paw volume (P<0.001) on different time scales with two different doses of the test compound (Zaltoprofen 10 & 20 mg/kg) in the acute inflammation model compared to the negative control (NaCl 10 ml/kg). However, in the chronic inflammation model, zaltoprofen 10 mg/kg and 20 mg/kg doses of the test compound showed a significant reduction in chronic inflammation, comparable to the negative control (NaCl 10 ml/kg), although the potency was lower than the positive control (piroxicam 10 mg/kg) (P 0.05). Thus, zaltoprofen shows significant anti-inflammatory and arthritic effects in both acute and chronic models by inhibiting various inflammatory mediators.
