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

Novichoks is the latest known class of organophosphorus nerve agents to be developed. These highly lethal persistent agents, which exert their toxicity mainly through dermal exposure, pose new major challenges in mitigating their effect, mainly in respect to decontamination and medical countermeasures. Herein we report on the effective degradation of Novichok agents (A-230, A-232 and A-234) by hydroxamic acid salts. This class of α-nucleophiles, with emphasis on the FDA approved drug acetohydroxamic acid, were found to promote rapid hydrolysis of these extremely toxic agents. Using
