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

Neglected tropical diseases remain a major global health challenge, highlighting the need for new antiparasitic agents. In this study, a series of substituted 1-[5-(5-nitrofuran-2-yl)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl]piperidine-4-carboxamides was designed, synthesized, and evaluated for in vitro antileishmanial and antitrypanosomal activity. Compound 18 emerged as the most promising derivative, showing submicromolar activity against all tested parasites with acceptable selectivity toward THP-1 cells. Mechanistic studies in T. b. brucei bloodstream cells revealed a reversible cytostatic effect rather than apoptosis, and assessment of cellular and mitochondrial ROS levels indicated that oxidative stress was not a primary contributor to activity. In silico ADME analysis supported the drug-likeness of the synthesized compounds. Taken together, these findings identify 18 as a valuable lead for further antiparasitic drug development.
