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

Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) are the most pernicious toxin and category 'A' bioterrorism agent, responsible for 'botulism', a rare but fatal disease. Toxins are divided into seven toxinotypes from A-G, where A, B, E, and F are accountable for human botulism. The available treatment strategies are inadequate and ineffective for post-neuronal intoxication. We report novel 2-[(8-hydroxyquinolin-7-yl)(phenyl)methylamino]benzoic acid derivatives targetingthe catalytic site of VAMP-acting serotypes (BoNT/B and F). Inhibitory potential of the synthesized compounds was studied using a framework of in silico and experimental approaches. Inhibitory activity and binding affinity were evaluated using substrate-based cleavage and SPR assays. Compound efficacy was tested in mice through pre-mixed, prophylactic, and therapeutic strategies. Molecular dynamics simulations analyzed binding interactions, structural fluctuations, and complex stability. Endopeptidase assay revealed that the selected compounds displayed ≥ 80% inhibition of BoNT/B and F catalytic activity, with IC
