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

Organophosphorus (OP) inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) continues to pose a deadly risk to human health. Despite decades of research on oximes, improved therapeutics are still needed as most oximes fail to cross the blood-brain barrier, none exhibit efficacy against the OP-aged form of AChE, and reactivation by oximes results in a toxic byproduct. However, despite efforts to replace oxime therapeutics, many of the new candidates fall short in broad-scope activity or sufficient efficacy relative to the oxime therapeutics. Previously, researchers have used imidazole or Mannich phenol moieties as a basic therapeutic handle for reactivation of OP-inhibited forms of AChE. Herein, we report a novel strategy of utilizing Mannich phenol quinone methide precursors (QMPs), which are capable of reactivation and resurrection of OP-inhibited and OP-aged AChE, linked to a pendant
