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

backgroundProtoporphyrinogen IX oxidase (PPO, EC 1.3.3.4) is an important target for the development of highly efficient and environmentally friendly herbicides. Unfortunately, conventional N-phenylphthalimide-derived PPO inhibitors are often plagued by limited herbicidal spectra and unsatisfactory crop selectivity. Therefore, a series of novel and highly active broad-spectrum N-phenylphthalimide herbicidal inhibitors were designed and synthesized via the introduction of amide and isoindolinone moieties.

resultsBased on the active substructure splicing strategy, a series of N-phenylphthalimide derivatives were synthesized. Among them, compound C4 showed a strong inhibitory effect on Nicotiana tabacum PPO (NtPPO) with an inhibition constant (K

conclusionStudies have shown that the N-phenylphthalimide derivative C4, containing amide and isoindolinone structural moieties, can serve as a potential PPO inhibitor. © 2026 Society of Chemical Industry.
