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

The discovery of at least 2 cyclo-oxygenase (COX) isoenzymes, referred to as COX-1 and COX-2, has updated our knowledge of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). This has lead investigators to reconsider what can be awaited from this class of drugs. The 2 COX isoenzymes share structural and enzymatic similarities, but are specifically regulated at the molecular level and may be distinguished apart in their functions, although some physiological overlap between them does occur. The major goal in developing selective COX inhibitors is to improve NSAID tolerability. Classic NSAIDs preferentially inhibit COX-1 in vitro, but it appears hazardous to judge their gastrointestinal (GI) safety profile from these data. New compounds with a high selectivity for COX-2, especially those that are non-acidic, may be better tolerated in the GI tract. While these compounds also might have a potential use in various diseases such as colorectal cancer and neurodegenerative diseases of the Alzheimer type, the possible appearance of adverse effects, perhaps renally-related, must be taken into consideration. Finally, well-designed large clinical trials are required to adequately estimate both the promising therapeutic advantages that may be offered by highly selective NSAIDs, and the potential drawbacks that may be inherent with prolonged COX-2 inhibition.
