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

For the past 75 years, the development pipeline of fluorinated drugs has exemplified the strategic use of fluorine to enhance key pharmacological properties, including bioavailability, metabolic stability, and target affinity. Consequently, fluorine incorporation has become a cornerstone in drug design, inspiring continuous research and development efforts across both academic and industrial sectors. Each year, numerous reviews highlight the ongoing importance of fluorinated drugs and aim to keep the field updated on emerging advancements. This review provides a comprehensive evaluation of the structural and functional benefits of fluorine in medicinal chemistry, presenting an extensive analysis of FDA-approved fluorine-containing drugs from 2015 to 2024. Special attention is paid to the latest approvals from 2024, with a focus on their mechanisms of action and detailed synthetic methodologies.
