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

contextThe presence of potentially carcinogenic nitrosamines in drugs has been a worldwide concern, driving strategies to control or mitigate their formation to protect patient health. Understanding the critical factors for N-nitrosation, such as mechanisms and energy barriers, enhances the risk assessment process to understand potential nitrosamine formation. Evaluation of the structural impact of amines on the N-nitrosation rate in the presence of nitrites and acidic media is of great interest to pharmaceutical companies assessing the risk of nitrosamine drug substance-related impurities. A range of secondary amines was explored using DFT calculations to assess the impact of electronic and steric effects on activation energy. Asym-N

methodsCalculations were performed using the Gaussian-16 program. The B3LYP-D3/def2-TZVP level of theory was applied for structure optimizations. The IEF-PCM implicit model was used for the solvent effect. Intrinsic reaction coordinate calculations were carried out to connect the transition state with the associated minimum.
