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

Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is a molecular chaperone that is responsible for the folding and maturation of client proteins that are associated with all ten hallmarks of cancer. Hsp90 N-terminal pan inhibitors have experienced unfavorable results in clinical trials due to induction of the heat shock response (HSR), among other concerns. Novobiocin, a well characterized DNA gyrase B inhibitor, was identified as the first Hsp90 C-terminal inhibitor that manifested anticancer effects without induction of the HSR. In this letter, a library of Hsp90 C-terminal inhibitors derived from a benzothiazole-based scaffold, known to inhibit DNA gyrase B, was designed, synthesized, and evaluated. Several compounds were found to manifest low micromolar activity against both MCF-7 and SKBr3 breast cancer cell lines via Hsp90 C-terminal inhibition.
