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

Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) is a ubiquitous neurotransmitter in the human body. In the central nervous system, 5-HT affects sleep, pain, mood, appetite, and attention, while in the peripheral nervous system, 5-HT modulates peristalsis, mucus production, and blood vessel dilation. Fourteen membrane receptors mediate 5-HT activity. In agreement with the crucial roles played by 5-HT, many drugs target 5-HT receptors (5-HTRs). Therefore, it is unsurprising that many efforts have been devoted to discovering multitarget-directed ligands (MTDLs) capable of engaging one or more 5-HTRs plus another target phenotypically linked to a particular disease. In this review, we will describe medicinal chemistry efforts in designing MTDLs encompassing activity for one or more 5-HTRs, starting with atypical antipsychotics and moving to dual 5-HT1AR/serotonin transporter ligands, 5-HT6R antagonists/acetyl cholinesterases inhibitors, and 5-HT4R agonists/acetyl cholinesterases inhibitors. We will also provide an outlook on the most recent efforts made in the field.
