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 series of bis(indolyl)glyoxylamides 10a-n has been designed and synthesized. In situ generated indole-3-glyoxalylchloride from the reaction of readily available indole 9 with oxalyl chloride was treated with tryptamine to produce bis(indolyl)glyoxylamides 10a-n in 82-93% yields. All the synthesized bis(indolyl)glyoxylamides were well characterized and tested for their antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains. Compounds 10d, 10g and 10i were found to display potent antibacterial activity against Gram-negative strain. Further, the cytotoxicity of bis(indolyl)glyoxylamides 10a-n were evaluated against a panel of human cancer cell lines. Of the screened analogues, compound 10f (IC50=22.34μM; HeLa, 24.05μM; PC-3, 21.13μM; MDA-MB-231 and 29.94μM; BxPC-3) was identified as the most potent analogue of the series. Exposure of PC-3 cells to either 10a or 10f resulted in increased levels of cleaved PARP1, indicating that bis(indolyl)glyoxylamides induce apoptosis in PC-3 cells. Most importantly, compounds 10d, 10g and 10i were completely ineffective in mammalian cells, suggesting that they target bacterial-specific targets and thus will not display any toxicity in host cells.
