Structure-Activity Relationship Study of Psychostimulant Synthetic Cathinones Reveals Nanomolar Antagonist Potency of α-Pyrrolidinohexiophenone at Human Muscarinic M
Article in ACS chemical neuroscience, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
Synthetic cathinones (SCs) are designer, psychostimulant drugs of abuse that primarily act on monoamine transporters; little is known about their off-target liability. Abuse of pyrrolidine-containing SCs, such as α-PHP, has been linked to clinical features, including tachycardia and hypertension, and psychiatric events, including delusions and memory impairments-effects mimicking deliriant hallucinogens that are acetylcholine muscarinic receptor (MR) antagonists. α-PHP and nine analogs with modifications in the α-carbon side chain length and/or containing a methylenedioxy moiety were screened for activity at each of the five human MRs. Increasing the length of the α-carbon side chain of 1-phenyl-2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)ethan-1-one analogs from a methyl (α-PPP) to a propyl (α-PVP) group caused a steep increase in affinity at all MR subtypes, and one extra carbon (α-PHP) further enhanced MR affinity; the presence of a methylenedioxy moiety generally hindered this effect. Highest MR affinity was observed with α-PHP at M
