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

backgroundPhenanthroindolizidine alkaloids are a family of plant-derived compounds with significant antineoplastic activity. The specific biomolecular targets of these alkaloids have not yet been clearly identified. (+)-(13aS)-deoxytylophorinine is a new phenanthroindolizidine alkaloid originally extracted from the roots of Tylophora atrofolliculata and Tylophora ovata in our institute. (+)-(13aS)-deoxytylophorinine exerts both in vitro and in vivoanticancer activities.

methodsThe in vivo anticancer effects and toxicity of this compound were investigated in mice, and interactions between this compound and double-helical DNA sequences were studied in detail with circular dichroic spectroscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy. Viscosity measurements were applied to check the interactive mode between this compound and DNA.

resultsPotent anticancer effects were observed in vivo. Also, concentration-dependent interactions were observed and this compound seemed to interact in a sequence-specific manner with AT-repeated sequences of double-helical DNA. Such interactions were proved to be intercalating by viscosity measurements.

conclusionsAnticancer alkaloid (+)-(13aS)-deoxytylophorinine can have sequence-specific interactions with DNA in an intercalating manner.
