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

A number of 1'-substituted 9-anilinoacridines were evaluated for their activities against promastigote and amastigote forms of Leishmania major and for their toxicities to human Jurkat leukemia cells. Several compounds possessing 1'-NH-alkyl substituents produced more than 80% growth inhibition of macrophage-infected L. major amastigotes at or below a concentration of 1 microM. 1'-Hexylamino-9-anilinoacridine (compound 14) was the least toxic compound to human Jurkat cells, while it retained strong antileishmanial activity. There was a general trend for the more lipophilic compounds to show the greatest antileishmanial activity, whereas 3,6-di-NH2 substitution of the acridine nucleus reduced or eliminated activity. Some structure-activity relationships of the various compounds are discussed.
