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

Arylphosphonium salts (APS) are compounds that have both lipophilic and cationic character, allowing them facile transport through plasma membranes or cell walls to accumulate in the cytoplasm or mitochondria of cells. APS molecules preferentially accumulate in tumor cells and are therefore under investigation as tumor imaging agents and mitochondrial targeting molecules. We have generated a systematic set of APS to study their ability to associate with DNA. The chemical structure of the APS determines the extent of its interaction with DNA and therefore its ability to aggregate the DNA. Also, APS compounds blocked DNA amplification in vitro at concentrations below the aggregation threshold, corroborating the structure/interaction relationship. Furthermore, the extent of APS:DNA interaction strongly correlates with bacterial toxicity, implying that APS molecules may deter cellular metabolic DNA pathways. Finally, DNA repair deficient and DNA bypass polymerase deficient bacterial strains were screened for sensitivity to APS. Interestingly, no single pathway for the repair or tolerance of these compounds was solely responsible for APS mediated toxicity. Taken together, these findings suggest that APS compounds may be capable of targeting and regulating unchecked cell growth and therefore show potential applications as a chemotherapeutic agent.
