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

Tranilast, an anti-allergic drug with well-established anti-inflammatory, antifibrotic, and antiproliferative properties, suffers from poor water solubility and low bioavailability, which limit its therapeutic potential. To improve its pharmacological profile, we designed and synthesized a novel series of hydroxylated Tranilast analogues. The compounds were obtained through a green, single-step coupling reaction between activated methoxy-substituted hydroxycinnamic acids and anthranilic or hydroxyanthranilic acids, using a triethylamine-isobutyl chloroformate system in environmentally friendly solvents. Fifteen derivatives were isolated in good to excellent yields (63-94%) without chromatographic purification. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiproliferative activities. Several analogues displayed notable antimicrobial effects against
