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

Marine natural products have proven, over the last half-century, to be effective biological modulators. These molecules have revealed new targets for cancer therapy as well as dissimilar modes of action within typical classes of drugs. In this scenario, innovation from marine-based pharmaceuticals has helped advance cancer chemotherapy in many aspects, as most of these are designated as first-in-class drugs. Here, by examining the path from discovery to development of clinically approved drugs of marine origin for cancer treatment-cytarabine (Cytosar-U®), trabectedin (Yondelis®), eribulin (Halaven®), brentuximab vedotin (Adcetris®), and plitidepsin (Aplidin®)- together with those in late clinical trial phases-lurbinectedin, plinabulin, marizomib, and plocabulin-the present review offers a critical analysis of the contributions given by these new compounds to cancer pharmacotherapy.
