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

Proinflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-1β is a key mediator of the inflammatory response in atherosclerosis. Targeting IL-1β represents a new approach for the anti-inflammatory therapy of cardiovascular diseases. Based on our previous data demonstrating that cardioprotective 6-piperazinyl purines can effectively inhibit IL-1β release in vascular cells, in this study, we present the synthesis of a next generation of purine analogues bearing either a furoxan moiety as a nitric oxide (NO) donor, or a (methylsulfonyl)thio group, a benzothioamide, or a 5-phenyl-3H-1,2-dithiole-3-thione as putative hydrogen sulfide (H
