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

Neglected tropical diseases, such as human African trypanosomiasis (HAT), require novel treatments that can populate the clinical pipeline in the event of rising resistance and treatment recrudescence. Following a high-throughput screen of almost 42,000 human kinase inhibitor chemotypes, we identified a 2,4-disubstituted azaindole that had good antiparasitic activity, selectivity, and predicted brain exposure, but that failed to meet our criteria for advancement into an efficacy study. Following hit-to-lead optimization, we arrived at
