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

Nine previously undescribed meroterpenoid glucosides, named nemophilosides A-I, were isolated from the whole plant extract of Nemophila menziesii. Their molecular structures were determined from their NMR and MS spectra, and the absolute configurations were confirmed using ECD spectroscopy by comparing the experimental data with calculated data. The meroterpenoids consist of monoterpenoids and hydroquinone moieties; however, meroterpenoids obtained as glycosides are relatively rare, which distinguishes this class of compounds. Their skeletons are similar to those of cannabinoids and shikonins, suggesting homologous biosynthetic pathways. Compared with the well-known meroterpenoids, the monoterpenoid moieties of the compounds isolated in this study were characterized by oxidation. Although these compounds showed little or no inhibitory activity against fatty acid amide hydrolase and acetylcholinesterase, compound 6 regulated NO production in RAW264.7 cells.
