Repurposing Duloxetine as a Potent Butyrylcholinesterase Inhibitor: Potential Cholinergic Enhancing Benefits for Elderly Individuals with Depression and Cognitive Impairment.
Article in ACS omega, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Despite the advent of new treatment strategies, cholinesterase inhibitors (ChEIs) are still the go-to treatment for dementia disorders. ChEIs act by inhibiting the main acetylcholine-degrading enzyme, acetylcholinesterase (AChE). Nonetheless, accumulating evidence indicates that the impact of inhibition of the sister enzyme, butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), could be even broader in older adults due to the multifaceted role of BChE in several biological functional pathways. Therefore, we employed an
