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

We have previously demonstrated a high antitumor potential of NOS inhibitor T1023 (1-isobutanoyl-2-isopropylisothiourea hydrobromide): antitumor antiangiogenic activity in several animal tumor models and its ability to synergistically enhance the antitumor effects of bevacizumab, cyclophosphamide and γ-radiation. At the same time, rather rapid adaptation of experimental neoplasias to T1023 treatment was often observed. We attempted to enhance the antitumor activity of this NOS inhibitor by supplementing its molecular structure with a PDK-inhibiting fragment, dichloroacetate (DCA), which is capable of hypoxia-oriented toxic effects. We synthesized compound T1084 (1-isobutanoyl-2-isopropylisothiourea dichloroacetate). Its toxic properties, NOS-inhibiting and PDK-inhibiting activity in vivo, and antitumor activity on the mouse Ehrlich carcinoma model (SEC) were investigated in compare with T1023 and Na-DCA. We found that the change of the salt-forming acid from HBr to DCA does not increase the toxicity of 1-isobutanoyl-2-isopropylisothiourea salts, but significantly expands the biochemical and anti-tumor activity. New compound T1084 realizes in vivo NOS-inhibiting and PDK-inhibiting activity, quantitatively, at the level of the previous compounds, T1023 and Na-DCA. In two independent experiments on SEC model, a pronounced synergistic antitumor effect of T1084 was observed in compare with T1023 and Na-DCA at equimolar doses. There were no signs of SEC adaptation to T1084 treatment, while experimental neoplasia rapidly desensitized to the separate treatment of both T1023 and Na-DCA. The totality of the data obtained indicates that the combination of antiangiogenic and hypoxia-oriented toxic effects (in this case, within the molecular structure of the active substance) can increase the antitumor effect and suppress the development of hypoxic resistance of neoplasias. In general, the proposed approach can be used for the design of new anticancer agents.
