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

This study presents a comparative thermal and kinetic analysis of three benzimidazole derivatives used in the pharmaceutical field: fenbendazole, mebendazole, and flubendazole. The investigations were carried out using thermoanalytical methods, including thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), in order to evaluate thermal stability, decomposition stages, and to calculate kinetic parameters. The obtained data were processed using isoconversional methods (Ozawa-Flynn-Wall, and Friedman) and non-parametric method (NPK) to determine activation energies and degradation mechanisms. The results revealed significant differences among the three compounds regarding their thermal stability and decomposition behavior, influenced by molecular structure and aromatic substituents. Furthermore, the comparative analysis provides valuable insights for optimizing technological processes, assessing stability in pharmaceutical formulations, and expanding research on the therapeutic potential of these compounds, including in oncological studies. Overall, the study contributes to a deeper understanding of the relationship between chemical structure and thermal stability in benzimidazole derivatives.
