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

Overcoming the blood-brain barrier remains one of the most formidable challenges in the diagnosis and treatment of central nervous system disorders. In this account, we showcase our contributions to the field of redox-responsive heterocycles, most notably 1,4-dihydroquinolines and 1,4-dihydropyridines, designed as powerful platforms for targeted brain delivery. Our work builds on the chemical delivery system and bioprecursor prodrug strategies pioneered by Bodor et al. We have focused on the development of redox-activated drug carriers and "bio-oxidizable" prodrugs, which enable efficient transport of neurotransmitters, neuropeptides, and radiotracers for advanced brain imaging, as well as cholinesterase and kinase inhibitors for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Last but not least, these versatile heterocyclic systems offer unprecedented perspectives in synthetic methodology, driving breakthrough advances in peptide synthesis and atroposelective amide bond construction.
