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

Heteroaromatic analogs of DMU-212 (8-15) have been synthesized and evaluated for their anti-cancer activity against a panel of 60 human cancer cell lines. These novel analogs contain a trans-3,4,5-trimethoxystyryl moiety attached to the C2 position of indole, benzofuran, benzothiazole or benzothiophene ring (8, 11, 13 and 14, respectively) and showed potent growth inhibition in 85% of the cancer cell lines examined, with GI50 values <1 μM. Interestingly, trans-3,4- and trans-3,5-dimethoxystyryl DMU-212 analogs 9, 10, 12 and 15 exhibited significantly less growth inhibition than their 3,4,5-trimethoxystyryl counterparts, suggesting that the trans-3,4,5-trimethoxystyryl moiety is an essential structural element for the potent anti-cancer activity of these heterocyclic DMU-212 analogs. Molecular modeling studies showed that the four most active compounds (8, 11, 13 and 14) all bind to the colchicine binding site on tubulin, and that their binding modes are similar to that of DMU-212.
