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

Adapting high-throughput (HT) synthetic methods to the modification of drugs and to testing of their bioactivity should expedite drug discovery. Herein, the applicability of HT desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (DESI MS) to achieve late-stage functionalization (LSF) and rapidly generate a modified opioid library is demonstrated. Specifically, aza-Michael addition and sulfur (VI) fluoride exchange reactions are used for functionalization. The modified drugs are both synthesized and characterized using an automated HT-DESI MS platform, with the reaction occurring during the droplet flight. Analysis by MS characterizes reaction products at a throughput of >1 reaction per second. With this platform, multiple nor-opioid scaffolds and functionalization reagents are screened and a selection of the hits obtained is subjected to HT label-free bioassays using the same DESI-MS platform. This combination of accelerated LSF reactions to rapidly create a diverse library of functionalized drugs with direct bioassays of the crude reaction mixtures for structure-activity relationship evaluation, both using the same platform, is anticipated to help expedite the early drug discovery process.
