Exploring anticancer activity of structurally modified benzylphenoxyacetamide (BPA); I: Synthesis strategies and computational analyses of substituted BPA variants with high anti-glioblastoma potential.
Article in Scientific reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
Structural variations of the benzylphenoxyacetamide (BPA) molecular skeleton were explored as a viable starting point for designing new anti-glioblastoma drug candidates. Hand-to-hand computational evaluation, chemical modifications, and cell viability testing were performed to explore the importance of some of the structural properties in order to generate, retain, and improve desired anti-glioblastoma characteristics. It was demonstrated that several structural features are required to retain the anti-glioblastoma activity, including a carbonyl group of the benzophenone moiety, as well as 4'-chloro and 2,2-dimethy substituents. In addition, the structure of the amide moiety can be modified in such a way that desirable anti-glioblastoma and physical properties can be improved. Via these structural modifications, more than 50 compounds were prepared and tested for anti-glioblastoma activity. Four compounds were identified (HR28, HR32, HR37, and HR46) that in addition to HR40 (PP1) from our previous study, have been determined to have desirable physical and biological properties. These include high glioblastoma cytotoxicity at low μM concentrations, improved water solubility, and the ability to penetrate the blood brain barrier (BBB), which indicate a potential for becoming a new class of anti-glioblastoma drugs.
