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

Isoindoline-1,3-dione, also referred as phthalimide, has gained recognition as promising pharmacophore due to the documented biological activities of its derivatives. Phthalimides are a family of synthetic molecules that exhibit notable bioactivity across various fields, particularly as anticancer and anti-inflammatory agents. This review focuses on syntheses and anti-inflammatory studies of the reported phthalimide derivatives. Although there are several synthetic protocols to produce phthalimide derivatives, two methods for synthesizing phthalimides are traditionally used: reacting phthalic anhydride with amines or anilines and the Gabriel synthesis. Due to their structural versatility and established pharmacological effects, derivatives of phthalimides such as the commercially available drugs thalidomide, pomalidomide, and lenalidomide, have driven the development of new derivatives offering hundreds of promising drug candidates with exceptional therapeutic potential, such as LASSBio 468 and adducts
