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

Recent research reveals Formyl Peptide Receptor 2 (FPR2) as a relevant G Protein-Coupled Receptor involved in the resolution phase of inflammation. Therefore, FPR2 agonists are promising agents to tackle neuroinflammatory-based diseases, such as Alzheimer's Disease or Autism Spectrum Disorder. Here, we describe the synthesis and biological evaluation of novel FPR2 agonists designed through the bioisosteric replacement of the phenyl urea function in the potent FPR2 agonist (S)-1-(3-(4-cyanophenyl)-1-(indolin-1-yl)-1-oxopropan-2-yl)-3-(4-fluorophenyl)urea (
