Regioselective Synthesis of Potential Non-Quinonoid Prodrugs of Plasmodione: Antiparasitic Properties Against Two Hemoglobin-Feeding Parasites and Drug Metabolism Studies.

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
Ψ-1,4-naphthoquinones (Ψ-NQ) are non-quinoid compounds in which aromaticity-found in 1,4-naphthoquinones-is broken by the introduction of an angular methyl at C-4a or -8a. This series was designed to act as prodrugs of 1,4-naphthoquinones in an oxidative environment. Furthermore, from a medicinal chemistry point of view, the loss of planarity of the scaffold might lead to an improved solubility and circumvent the bad reputation of quinones in the pharmaceutical industry. In this work, we illustrated the concept by the synthesis of Ψ -plasmodione regioisomers as prodrugs of the antimalarial plasmodione. The presence of a chiral center introduces a new degree of freedom to be controlled by enantioselectivity and regioselectivity of the cycloaddition in the Diels-Alder reaction. The first strategy that was followed was based on the use of a chiral enantiopure sulfoxide to govern the stereoselective formation of (+)Ψ-NQ or (-)Ψ-NQ, depending on the chirality of the sulfoxide (
