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

The monoamine oxidase (MAO) enzymes are mitochondrial flavoenzymes that catalyse the oxidative deamination of neurotransmitter amines such as serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine. Inhibitors of the MAOs are well-known antidepressant and antiparkinsonian agents, and act by reducing MAO-mediated metabolism of neurotransmitters in the brain. The present study attempted to identify compounds that inhibit the MAOs by virtual screening of existing drugs listed in the DrugBank using the Discovery Studio life science software. To identify the combinations of docking and scoring functions that most accurately identify known MAO inhibitors, the enrichment factor (EF
