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

The serotonin transporter (SERT) belongs to the family of neurotransmitter sodium symporters (NSS), together with other neurotransmitter transporters for norepinephrine, dopamine, glycine, and GABA. The main physiological role of SERT is the retrieval of previously released serotonin from the synaptic cleft. Thereby, SERT plays an important role in regulating the extracellular serotonin concentration and maintaining serotonergic neurotransmission. This process can be influenced by molecules acting as serotonin uptake inhibitors, like paroxetine. Here, we report the development of a novel photoswitchable paroxetine derivative and its pharmacological interaction profile with SERT as a tool compound for the light-induced control of SERT. Based on the azo-extension strategy, the photoswitchable moiety was formed at the former position of the fluoro substituent in paroxetine. The resulting azo-paroxetine (9) was easily and reversibly switched between active (Z) and inactive (E) configurations and remained stable between these configurations: serotonin uptake was inhibited more than 12 times more potently by the active (Z)-configuration having a sub μM IC
