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 primary focus of this research was to explore the activation process and mechanism of decitabine (5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine, DAC) prodrug. Recently, it has been reported that biphenyl hydrolase-like protein (BPHL) can play an important role in the activation of some amino acid nucleoside prodrugs with a general preference for hydrophobic amino acids and 5'-esters. Therefore, we put forward a bold hypothesis that this novel enzyme may be primarily responsible for the activation process of DAC prodrug as well. 5'-O-L-valyl-decitabine (L-val-DAC) was synthesized before and can be transported across biological membranes by the oligopeptide transporter (PEPT1), granting it much greater utility in vivo. In this report, L-val-DAC was found to be a good substrate of BPHL protein (K
