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

Elucidating the target of an antiparasitic small molecule can aid in the drug development process. However, various technical challenges related to parasite biology prevent timely target identification. Microscopy methods determining the co-localization of a drug with subcellular markers is a powerful approach that provides evidence of its localization within the cell. This technique can help pinpoint the primary site of action of novel therapeutics, which can assist in elucidating their mode of action. Intrinsically fluorescent drugs allow for subcellular localization without extensive medicinal chemistry. We imaged the intrinsically fluorescent drugs PRC1590 and quinine with digestive vacuole stains to determine these compounds' localization in the malaria parasite,
