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

Microtubules (made up of α and β-tubulin subunits) play an essential role in the process of mitosis and cell proliferation, thus making them an ideal target for anticancer drugs discovery. Microtubule-targeted drugs, including taxanes and vinca alkaloids, can suppress microtubule dynamics, cause mitotic block and apoptosis, which have been widely used in the treatment of various cancers. There are three unique binding sites (taxanes, vinca alkaloids, and colchicine) in tubulin can be targeted to develop tubulin inhibitors. In this study, we selected the colchicine binding site in tubulin as our target. By performing molecular docking-based virtual screening combined with in vitro tubulin polymerization inhibition assay, we identified two novel and potent tubulin inhibitors (9 and 19). These two compounds arrested cell cycle progression at the G2/M phase and induced apoptosis at sub μM concentrations. In addition, they displayed potent antiproliferative activity with IC
