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

Herein, a novel series of dual histone deacetylase (HDAC) and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) inhibitors were designed, synthesized and biologically evaluated based on previously reported pazopanib-based HDAC and VEGFR dual inhibitors. Most target compounds showed significant HDAC1, HDAC6 and VEGFR2 inhibition, which contributed to their potent antiproliferative activities against multiple cancer cell lines and significant antiangiogenic potencies in both human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) tube formation assays and rat thoracic aorta ring assays. Further HDAC selectivity evaluations indicated that hydroxamic acids 5 and 9e possessed HDAC isoform selectivity profiles similar to that of the approved HDAC inhibitor suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid(SAHA), while hydrazide12 presented an HDAC isoform selectivity profilesimilar to that of the clinical HDAC inhibitor MS-275. The VEGFR inhibition profiles of 5, 9e and 12 were similar to that of the approved VEGFR inhibitor pazopanib. The intracellular target engagements of Compounds 5 and 12 were confirmed by western blot analysis. The metabolic stabilities of 5, 9e and 12 in mouse liver microsomes were inferior to that of pazopanib. These dual HDAC and VEGFR inhibitors provide lead compounds for further structural optimization to obtainpolypharmacological anticancer agents.
