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

Anthracyclines are effective drugs in the treatment of various cancers, but their use comes with severe side effects. The archetypal anthracycline drug, doxorubicin, displays two molecular modes of action: DNA double-strand break formation (through topoisomerase IIα poisoning) and chromatin damage (via eviction of histones). These biological activities can be modulated and toxic side effects can be reduced by separating these two modes of action through alteration of the aminoglycoside moiety of doxorubicin. We herein report on the design, synthesis, and evaluation of a coherent set of configurational doxorubicin analogues featuring all possible stereoisomers of the 1,2-amino-alcohol characteristic for the doxorubicin 3-amino-2,3-dideoxyfucoside, each in nonsubstituted and N,N-dimethylated forms. The set of doxorubicin analogues was synthesized using appropriately protected 2,3,6-dideoxy-3-amino glycosyl donors, equipped with an alkynylbenzoate anomeric leaving group, and the doxorubicin aglycon acceptor. The majority of these glycosylations proceeded in a highly stereoselective manner to provide the desired axial α-linkage. We show that both stereochemistry of the 3-amine carbon and N-substitution state are critical for anthracycline cytotoxicity and generally improve cellular uptake.
