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

Malagasy frogs of the endemic family Mantellinae, among them Gephyromantis granulatus, have a unique feature: femoral glands that secrete volatile semiochemicals used for communication. Here, we report the structure elucidation, total synthesis, and determination of the absolute configuration of the main component of the femoral gland secretion of G. granulatus: granolide C. The structures of two further macrolides, granolides A and B, were also clarified. Structure elucidation was performed using GC/MS, as NMR analysis was not possible due to the limited amount of available material. Various stereoisomers were synthesized using a flexible synthetic approach that enabled access to different substitution patterns found in granolides. Granolides A-C are unique sesquiterpene macrocyclic lactones with ethyl branches instead of the common methyl branches - a feature that is rarely found in nature.
