Identification and characterization of a phenyl-thiazolyl-benzoic acid derivative as a novel RAR/RXR agonist.

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
objectiveTo identify an agonist of RXRα and RARα with reduced undesired profiles of all-trans retinoic acid for differentiation-inducing therapy of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), such as its susceptibility to P450 enzyme, induction of P450 enzyme, increased sequestration by cellular retinoic acid binding protein and increased expression of P-glycoprotein, a virtual screening was performed. RESULTS AND
conclusionIn this study, a phenyl-thiazolyl-benzoic acid derivative (PTB) was identified as a potent agonist of RXRα and RARα. PTB was characterized in nuclear receptor binding, reporter gene, cell differentiation and cell growth assays. PTB bound directly to RXRα and RARα, but not to PPARα, δ(β) or γ. PTB fully activated reporter genes with enhancer elements for RXRα/RXRα, and partially activated reporter genes with enhancer elements for RARα/RXRα, PPARδ(β) and PPARγ. Furthermore, PTB induced differentiation and inhibited the growth of human APL cells. Thus, PTB is a novel dual agonist of RXRα and RARα and works as both a differentiation inducer and a proliferation inhibitor to leukemic cells.
