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

Kinesin spindle protein (KSP), known as Hs Eg5, a member of the kinesin-5 family, plays an important role in the formation and maintenance of the bipolar spindle. We previously reported S-trityl-l-cysteine derivatives as selective KSP inhibitors. Here, we report further optimizations using docking modeling in the L5 allosteric binding site, which led to the discovery of several high affinity derivatives with two fused phenyl rings in the trityl group giving low nanomolar range KSP ATPase inhibition. The representative derivatives potently inhibited cell growth of HCT116 cells in correlation with KSP inhibitory activities and significantly suppressed tumor growth in the xenograft model in vivo.
