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

Melanin is essential for protecting human skin against harmful ultraviolet (UV) irradiation and environmental pollutants. However, excessive melanin accumulation in the epidermis can affect aesthetics, cause psychological distress, and reduce quality of life. Despite the development and utilization of several well-known tyrosinase (TYR) inhibitors as skin-whitening agents in cosmetics to address hyperpigmentation concerns, there remains a growing demand in the cosmetics market for safer, more efficient, and diverse skin-whitening agents. Guided by the binding model of thiamidol with TYR, this study synthesized and characterized 26 4-(2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)thiazole-2-carboxamide derivatives, evaluating their anti-TYR activities. Among these compounds, compound 4 exhibited the strongest anti-TYR activity (IC
