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

Tropolone compounds can inhibit hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication at sub-micromolar levels and are synergistic upon co-treatment with nucleos(t)ide analog drugs. However, only a few compounds within this chemotype have been screened for their pharmacological properties. Here, we chose 36 structurally diverse tropolones from six subclasses to characterize their in vitro pharmacological parameters. All compounds were more soluble in pHs that reflect the gastrointestinal tract (pH 5 and 6.5) than plasma (pH 7.4). Those compounds that had solubility limits >100 μM were tested in a passive permeability assay, and there was no general trend in the compounds' passive permeability at any pH. Twenty-nine compounds with the best absorption parameters were tested in HEK293 cells to assess potential cytotoxicity; measured toxicities were similar to those in the hepatic HepDES19 cells used for screening (R
