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

Treatment of neovascular eye diseases like age-related macular degeneration require a compound that is not toxic to ocular cells, that can reduce inflammation and inhibit angiogenesis. Homoisoflavonoids, naturally occurring compounds isolated primarily from the Hyacinthaceae sub-family of plants, have shown promise as anti-inflammatories and inhibitors of angiogenesis. A series of sulphur analogues, (3-benzylidene thiochroman-4-ones), were synthesised via a three-step procedure. These compounds were evaluated for selectivity towards endothelial cells over non-endothelial cells and their ability to inhibit COX-II over COX-I.Their potential anti-angiogenic activity was assessed using the Matrigel tube formation assay. (3Z)-3-[(3-bromophenyl)methylidene]-6-methoxy-2,3-dihydro-4H-1-benzothiopyran-4-one (10) was most active with respect to anti-proliferation against human retinal endothelial cells (HREC cells) (GI
