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

The orally bioavailable 1-deoxy-sphingosine analog, Enigmol, has demonstrated anticancer activity in numerous in vivo settings. However, as no Enigmol analog with enhanced potency in vitro has been identified, a new strategy to improve efficacy in vivo by increasing tumor uptake was adopted. Herein, synthesis and biological evaluation of two novel fluorinated Enigmol analogs, CF3-Enigmol and CF2-Enigmol, are reported. Each analog was equipotent to Enigmol in vitro, but achieved higher plasma and tissue levels than Enigmol in vivo. Although plasma and tissue exposures were anticipated to trend with fluorine content, CF2-Enigmol absorbed into tissue at strikingly higher concentrations than CF3-Enigmol. Using mouse xenograft models of prostate cancer, we also show that CF3-Enigmol underperformed Enigmol-mediated inhibition of tumor growth and elicited systemic toxicity. By contrast, CF2-Enigmol was not systemically toxic and demonstrated significantly enhanced antitumor activity as compared to Enigmol.
