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

Twenty-six unsymmetrical biphenyls were synthesized and evaluated for cytotoxic activity against DU145, A549, KB and KB-Vin tumor cell lines. Three compounds 27, 35 and 40 showed very potent activity against the HTCL panel with an IC(50) value range of 0.04-3.23 microM. In addition, fourteen active compounds were all more potent against the drug-resistant KB-Vin cell line than the parental KB cell line. Preliminary SAR analysis indicated that two bulky substituents on the 2,2'-positions of unsymmetrical biphenyl skeleton are necessary and crucial for in vitro anticancer activity, thus providing a good starting point to develop unsymmetrical biphenyls as novel anticancer agents.
