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

Malaria remains a major global health problem that has been exacerbated by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on health systems. To combat this, the World Health Organization (WHO) has set a target of driving forward research into innovative treatment methods such as new drugs and vaccines. Quinones, particularly 1,4-naphthoquinones, have been identified as promising candidates for the development of antiprotozoal drugs. Herein, we report several methods for the preparation of 2-benzyl-1,4-naphthoquinones. In particular, the silver-catalyzed Kochi-Anderson radical decarboxylation is well suited for the preparation of these compounds. The antiprotozoal activity of all synthesized compounds was evaluated against
