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

Searching for new copper compounds which may be useful as antitumor drugs, a series of new [Cu(L-dipeptide)(batho)] (batho:4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline, L-dipeptide: Gly-Val, Gly-Phe, Ala-Gly, Ala-Ala, Ala-Phe, Phe-Ala, Phe-Val and Phe-Phe) complexes were synthesized and characterized. To interpret the experimental IR spectra, [Cu(ala-gly)(batho)] was modelled in the gas phase using DFT at the B3LYP/LANL2DZ level of theory and the calculated vibrational frequencies were analyzed. Solid-state characterization is in agreement with pentacoordinate complexes of the general formula [Cu(L-dipeptide)(batho)]·x solvent, similar to other [Cu(L-dipeptide)(diimine)] complexes. In solution, the major species are heteroleptic, as in the solid state. The mode of binding to the DNA was evaluated by different techniques, to understand the role of the diimine and the dipeptide. To this end, studies were also performed with complexes [CuCl
