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

In this study we present a novel class of N-imidazopyridine (impy) derivatives (12-15) of noscapine by tethering the imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine core to the N-atom of the isoquinoline ring of the lead molecule noscapine. These derivatives were found to have better docking scores (- 6.213 to - 7.897 kcal/mol) than noscapine (- 4.960 kcal/mol). Further, the calculated binding energy ranged between - 25.85 to - 35.57 kcal/mol, as determined by MD simulations and MM-PBSA calculations. Tubulin binding assay also revealed higher binding affinity for compounds 12, 13, 14, and 15 with the equilibrium dissociation constant (K
