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

purposeRecently, numerous lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) analogs have emerged as designer drugs globally. These compounds are mainly distributed as sheet products. In this study, two new LSD analogs were identified from sheet products.

methodsThe structures of the compounds were determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, liquid chromatography-photodiode array-mass spectrometry, liquid chromatography with hybrid quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurement.

resultsFrom the NMR analysis, two compounds in the products were identified as N,N-diethyl-7-methyl-4-(3-(trimethylsilyl)propanoyl)-4,6,6a,7,8,9-hexahydroindolo[4,3-fg]quinoline-9-carboxamide (1S-LSD) and 7-allyl-N,N-diethyl-4-(thiophene-2-carbonyl)-4,6,6a,7,8,9-hexahydroindolo[4,3-fg]quinoline-9-carboxamide (1T-AL-LAD). In the product where 1S-LSD was detected, the presence of a trace amount of iso-1S-LSD, a C8-epimerization product of 1S-LSD, was suggested.

conclusionsThis paper is the first to report the detection of 1S-LSD and 1T-AL-LAD in sheet products in Japan. Notably, the metabolic pathways and biological activities of 1S-LSD and 1T-AL-LAD are not explored. The possibility of the in vivo deacylation and conversion of the compoundsinto LSD or AL-LAD should be further investigated.
