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

There are 2 isoenzymes of cyclo-oxygenase (COX). There is a constitutive enzyme COX-1 which has a wide tissue distribution. In addition there is an inducible enzyme COX-2 which has a restricted tissue distribution. The inducible enzyme COX-2 is responsible for the generation of prostaglandins at sites of tissue inflammation and its inhibition is associated with an anti-inflammatory action. The constitutive enzyme, COX-1 is responsible for the production of prostaglandins with multiple functions. One well known and clinically important function is the gastroprotective effect of the prostaglandins produced in the gastric mucosa. While selective COX-2 inhibition may be associated with a reduced incidence of gastric adverse effects, a concern remains that its inhibition at other locations may be associated with other adverse effects.
