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

A library of triazine macrocycles was obtained to evaluate strategies for predicting lipophilicity using additive algorithms. Two synthetic routes were examined. While both were successful, one proved amenable to solution-phase library synthesis. The octanol-water partition coefficients (logP) were measured using reverse-phase HPLC at pH 10. When experimental and computed values (AlogP) are compared, a linear correlation is observed. That is, while additive algorithms underestimate hydrophobicity by a factor of 100, a simple correction yields accurate predictions. Two macrocycles showed anomalous hydrophobicities at high pH that were borne out in membrane transit (PAMPA) studies. Homodimers containing two primary amines were more hydrophobic than the corresponding heterodimers containing a single amine and a hydrophobic group. Structural analysis and computation provide a rationale for this behavior: the amines engage in an intramolecular hydrogen bond.
