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

Aromatase is a rate-limiting enzyme for estrogen biosynthesis that is overproduced in breast cancer tissue. To block the growth of breast tumors, aromatase inhibitors (AIs) are employed to bind and inhibit aromatase in order to lower the amount of estrogen produced in the body. Although a number of synthetic aromatase inhibitors have been released for clinical use in the treatment of hormone-receptor positive breast cancer, these inhibitors may lead to undesirable side effects (e.g. increased rash, diarrhea and vomiting; effects on the bone, brain and heart) and therefore, the search for novel AIs continues. Over the past decades, there has been an intense effort in employing medicinal chemistry and quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) to shed light on the mechanistic basis of aromatase inhibition. To the best of our knowledge, this article constitutes the first comprehensive review of all QSAR studies of both steroidal and non-steroidal AIs that have been published in the field. Herein, we summarize the experimental setup of these studies as well as summarizing the key features that are pertinent for robust aromatase inhibition.
