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

Parasitic nematodes cause significant health issues in livestock, resulting in clinical complications and economic losses worldwide. As the efficacy of current anthelmintic drugs is being compromised by the emergence of drug resistance, a search for novel therapeutics with new modes of action is necessary. Obefazimod (ABX464) originally developed for human inflammatory diseases, has recently shown promising nematocidal activity against Haemonchus contortus and other parasitic nematodes. This study aimed to elucidate the biotransformation pathways of obefazimod in H. contortus and in its host, sheep. Adult nematodes (females and males separately) of drug-susceptible and drug-resistant strains and ovine liver models were used. Using a newly developed and optimized UHPLC-HRMS/MS method, we identified 13 metabolites formed via phase I and II metabolism. These findings provide the first insight into the metabolic fate of obefazimod in target parasites and host species.
