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

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the most abundantly used classes among therapeutic agents in medicine. NSAIDs inhibit the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), which is responsible for the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins. Meanwhile, non-selective NSAIDs are considered as a double-edged weapon since inhibition of COX-1 can lead to gastrointestinal side effects and kidney damage, whereas selective COX-2 inhibition provides anti-inflammatory effects without gastrointestinal toxicity. The detection of COX-2 role in inflammation process launched a new era in its management. Several trials have been established to proceed towards selectivity of well-defined anti-inflammatory members. COX-2 selective inhibitors are evidently safer on the gastrointestinal tract than non-selective NSAIDs. Nevertheless, their unexpected cardiovascular risks cannot be ignored. This review article highlights the latest trials aimed at developing new compounds with promising selective COX-2 activity.
