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

introductionPrevention of the formation of β-haematin is the target of several existing antimalarials drugs, most notably chloroquine. This target is therefore attractive for the development of new molecules with antimalarial potential.

methodsIn this study, we have used a combination of ab-initio molecular dynamics and density functional tight-binding to examine the possible interaction mechanisms between five amodiaquine analogues and four conformations of haematin. Reactivity and stability of these complexes were investigated using bond length (Fe-N and Fe-O), energies (HOMO- LUMO) and molecular dynamics.

resultsResults revealed a good interaction between haem and the compounds, stable geometries of complexes.

conclusionThe findings from this study are valuable because they can aid the design and understanding of new therapeutic molecules that could be used to treat drug-resistant malaria, a global threat of today.
