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

Cytostatic agents often do not discriminate in their cytostatic potential between different tumor cell types in vitro. In this study, several 2-aminothiophene-3-carboxylic acid ester derivatives were discovered that show an unusual cytostatic selectivity for several T-cell (but not B-cell) lymphoma, prostate cancer, kidney carcinoma and hepatoma cell lines. Their 50 % cytostatic concentrations were generally in the higher nanomolar range and were approximately 20- to 50-fold lower for these tumor cell types than for any other tumor cell line or non-tumorigenic cells. The tumor-selective compounds caused a more preferential suppression of protein synthesis than DNA or RNA synthesis and the prototype compound 3 resulted in an accumulation of prostate cancer cells in the G1 phase of their cell cycle. Compound 3 was also shown to induce apoptosis in prostate cancer cells. The 2-aminothiophene-3-carboxylic acid ester derivatives represent novel candidate cytostatic agents to be further explored for their tumor-selective potential.
