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

A small molecule motif was used in "active targeting" to deliver cytotoxic substances into tumor cells that express the TrkC receptor. Underlying this study was the hypothesis that internalization of targeted conjugates into cells would be facile if mediated by receptor binding and receptor-ligand internalization. Initial experiments using 6-mercaptopurine gave encouraging data, but demonstrated the importance of maintaining solubility and high cytotoxicity. Conjugates of the targeting agent with a cytotoxic rosamine (similar to a rhodamine) were more successful. Targeting of TrkC was observed, validated in a series of competition experiments featuring other TrkC ligands, and accumulation into lysosomes was observed, as expected for receptor-mediated internalization.
