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

Through synthetic lethality screening of isogenic cell lines with and without the oncogenic KRAS gene and through lead compound optimization, we recently developed a novel anticancer agent designated NSC-743380 (oncrasin-72) that has promising in vitro and in vivo anticancer activity in a subset of cancer cell lines, including KRAS-mutant cancer cells. However, NSC-743380 tends to form dimers, which dramatically reduces its anticancer activity. To improve the physicochemical properties of NSC-743380, we synthesized a prodrug of NSC-743380, designated oncrasin-266, by modifying NSC-743380 with cyclohexylacetic acid and evaluated its in vitro and in vivo properties. Oncrasin-266 spontaneously hydrolyzed in phosphate-buffered saline in a time-dependent manner and was more stable than NSC-743380 in powder or stock solutions. In vivo administration of oncrasin-266 in mice led to the release of NSC-743380 which improved the pharmacokinetics of NSC-743380. Tissue distribution analysis revealed that oncrasin-266 was deposited in liver, whereas released NSC-743380 was detected in liver, lung, kidney, and subcutaneous tumor. Oncrasin-266 was better tolerated in mice at a higher dose level treatment (150-300 mg/kg, ip) than the parent agent was, suggesting that the prodrug reduced the acute toxicity of the parent agent. Our results demonstrated that the prodrug strategy could improve the stability, pharmacokinetic properties, and safety of NSC-743380.
