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

backgroundAnticancer drug resistance is a challenging phenomenon of growing concern which arises from alteration in drug targets. Despite the fast speed of new chemotherapeutic agent design, the increasing prevalence of this phenomenon requires further research and treatment development. Recently, we reported a new aminopyrimidine compound-namely RDS 344-as a potential innovative anticancer agent.

methodsHerein, we report the design, synthesis, and anti-proliferative activity of new aminopyrimidine derivatives structurally related to RDS 3442 obtained by carrying out substitutions at position 6 of the pyrimidine core and/or on the 2-aniline ring of our hit. The ability to inhibit cell proliferation was evaluated on different types of tumors, glioblastoma, triple-negative breast cancer, oral squamous cell carcinomas and colon cancer plus on human dermal fibroblasts chosen as control of normal cells.

resultsThe most interesting compound was the

conclusionsThese data suggest a potential role for this class of molecules as promising tool for new approaches in treating cancers of different histotype.
