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

We have previously shown that N-1-sulfonylpyrimidine derivatives have strong antiproliferative activity on human tumor cell lines, whereby 1-(p-toluenesulfonyl)cytosine showed good selectivity with regard to normal cells and was easily synthesized on a large scale. In the present work we have used an interdisciplinary approach to elucidate the compounds' mechanistic class. An augmented number of cell lines (11) has allowed a computational search for compounds with similar activity profiles and/or mechanistic class by integrating our data with the comprehensive DTP-NCI database. We applied supervised machine learning methodology (Random Forest classifier), which offers information complementary to unsupervised algorithms commonly used for analysis of cytostatic activity profiles, such as self-organizing maps. The computational results taken together with cell cycle perturbation and apoptosis analysis of the cell lines point to an unusual mechanism of cytostatic action, possibly a combination of nucleic acid antimetabolite activity and a novel molecular mechanism.
