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

Novel lipophilic hydroxyalkyl esters were synthetized by Fischer esterification in good to excellent yields (60-96%) from a panel of hydroxyphenylacetic acids and increasing chain length (2 to 8 carbon atoms) α,ω-diols. The in vitro antioxidant activity of these compounds was evaluated by DPPH and ABTS assays. Hydroxybutyl esters and hydroxyphenylacetic acids were used as starting materials for the synthesis of novel lipophilic diesters (butyl diarylacetates) using Mitsunobu reaction. The final products were isolated in moderate to good yields (40-78%), and their structure-antioxidant activity relationships are discussed. Compounds bearing the catechol moiety on one of the two aromatic rings and high lipophilicity proved to be the strongest antioxidants and were selected for testing as antibacterials against
