Intrinsically Fluorescent Anti-Cancer Drugs.
Review in Biology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
At present, about one-third of the total protein targets in the pharmaceutical research sector are kinase-based. While kinases have been attractive targets to combat many diseases, including cancer, selective kinase inhibition has been challenging, because of the high degree of structural homology in the active site where many kinase inhibitors bind. Despite efficacy as cancer drugs, kinase inhibitors can exhibit limited target specificity and rationalizing their target profiles in the context of precise molecular mechanisms or rearrangements is a major challenge for the field. Spectroscopic approaches such as infrared, Raman, NMR and fluorescence have the potential to provide significant insights into drug-target and drug-non-target interactions because of sensitivity to molecular environment. This review places a spotlight on the significance of fluorescence for extracting information related to structural properties, discovery of hidden conformers in solution and in target-bound state, binding properties (e.g., location of binding sites, hydrogen-bonding, hydrophobicity), kinetics as well as dynamics of kinase inhibitors. It is concluded that the information gleaned from an understanding of the intrinsic fluorescence from these classes of drugs may aid in the development of future drugs with improved side-effects and less disease resistance.
