A novel selective AKR1C3-activated prodrug AST-3424/OBI-3424 exhibits broad anti-tumor activity.
Article in American journal of cancer research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 6 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
AST-3424/OBI-3424 (denoted by 3424) is a novel prodrug bis-alkylating agent activated by AKR1C3. AKR1C3 is overexpressed in many types of cancer, particularly in liver, non-small cell lung, gastric, renal and CRPC cancer. Currently 3424 is being studied in phase 1/2 clinical trials for the treatment of solid and hematologic cancers, and it represents potentially a novel, selective anti-cancer agent for multiple indications. In this study, AKR1C3-dependent activation of 3424 was investigated
