A novel dual MEK/PDK1 inhibitor 9za retards the cell cycle at G
Article in PeerJ, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundA novel dual MEK/PDK1 inhibitor named 9za has been synthesized by our research team. Preliminary study showed that 9za possessed potent cytotoxicity and proapoptosis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells. Nevertheless, the precise underlying mechanism is vague.
methodsIn this work, we adopted the MTT assay, the Cell Cycle Detection Kit, and the JC-1 staining assay to detect the cell viability, the cell cycle distribution and the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), respectively. Cell apoptosis was measured by the morphology observation under a light microscope, Annexin V-FITC/propidium iodide (PI) apoptosis detection and the colorimetric TUNEL assay. Western blot was used to monitor the cell cycle-, apoptosis-related proteins and relevant proteins involved in the signaling pathways.
resultsThe MTT assay demonstrated that 9za sharply decreased the viability of NSCLC cells. Cell cycle analysis revealed that low concentrations of 9za arrested the cell cycle at the G
