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

Bicyclic organophosphorus compounds (BOPCs), including flame retardants and plasticisers, are widely used in industrial applications because of their thermal stability and resistance to degradation. However, their unique structural properties and mechanisms of toxicity raise concerns regarding their potential misuse. Unlike classical organophosphorus compounds that inhibit acetylcholinesterase, BOPCs exert toxicity by antagonising gamma-aminobutyric acid receptors, resulting in severe neurotoxic effects, including convulsions and seizures. This underscores the urgent need to prioritise predictive toxicity studies on these compounds as part of a national defence strategy. The present study represents the first extensive application of in silico toxicological approaches to investigate the acute toxicity of a BOPC dataset (n = 18) utilising advanced in silico tools, such as QSAR models and probabilistic software/platforms, to predict acute oral toxicity in rats. All the investigated BOPCs are highly acutely toxic, judging from LD
