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

Anthracycline antitumor antibiotics are one of the promising classes of chemotherapeutic agents for cancer treatment. The main deterrent to their use is high toxicity to a healthy environment, including cumulative cardiotoxicity. In our work, bipharmacophore molecules containing in their structure a fragment of the known anthracycline antibiotics daunorubicin and doxorubicin and natural sesquiterpene lactones were obtained for the first time. When studying the biological activity of the synthesized compounds, it was found that with equal and, in some cases, higher cytotoxicity and glycolysis inhibition by anthracycline antibiotics conjugates with sesquiterpene lactones in comparison with doxo- and daunorubicin, a reduced damaging effect on the functioning of rat heart mitochondria was observed. The results obtained allow us to confirm the assumption that the chemical modification of the anthracycline antibiotics molecules doxo- and daunorubicin by natural sesquiterpene lactones can be a promising strategy for creating potential antitumor chemotherapeutic drugs with a pronounced cytotoxic effect on tumor cells and a reduced damaging effect on healthy cells of the human organism.
