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

We present a new method to obtain tertiary amine-based prodrugs with dual functionality, enabling (i) signal-triggered drug activation and (ii) covalent incorporation in polymer materials through a clickable azido-group unit on the molecular prodrug scaffold. Using nucleophilic substitution on an electron deficient azido-phenyl allyl bromide scaffold, we were able to obtain prodrugs from a variety of amine drug candidates. Subsequent drug activation was initiated by using S or N-terminal biomarker nucleophiles including amino acids, a neurotransmitter, and glutathione as chemical signals. Hydrogel scaffolds labelled with anti-cancer or antibiotic prodrugs were tested in aqueous and cellular media. Through this strategy, we achieved controlled drug release upon signal activation for
