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

Tyrosyl DNA phosphodiesterase 2 (TDP2) facilitates the repair of topoisomerase II (TOP2)-linked DNA double-strand breaks and, as a consequence, is required for cellular resistance to TOP2 "poisons". Recently, a deazaflavin series of compounds were identified as potent inhibitors of TDP2, in vitro. Here, however, we show that while some deazaflavins can induce cellular sensitivity to the TOP2 poison etoposide, they do so independently of TDP2 status. Consistent with this, both the cellular level of etoposide-induced TOP2 cleavage complexes and the intracellular concentration of etoposide was increased by incubation with deazaflavin, suggesting an impact of these compounds on etoposide uptake/efflux. In addition, deazaflavin failed to increase the level of TOP2 cleavage complexes or sensitivity induced by m-AMSA, which is a different class of TOP2 poison to which TDP2-defective cells are also sensitive. In conclusion, while deazaflavins are potent inhibitors of TDP2 in vitro, their limited cell permeability and likely interference with etoposide influx/efflux limits their utility in cells.
