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

Several reviews of inhibitors of topoisomerase II have been published, covering research before 2018. Therefore, this review is focused primarily on more recent publications with relevant points from the earlier literature. Topoisomerase II is an established target for anticancer drugs, which are further subdivided into poisons and catalytic inhibitors. While most of the topoisomerase II-based drugs in clinical use are mostly topoisomerase II poisons, their mechanism of action has posed severe concern due to DNA damaging potential, including the development of multi-drug resistance. As a result, we are beginning to see a gradual paradigm shift towards non-DNA damaging agents, such as the lesser studied topoisomerase II catalytic inhibitors. In addition, this review describes some novel selective catalytic topoisomerase II inhibitors. The ultimate goal is to bring researchers up to speed by curating and delineating new scaffolds as the leads for the optimization and development of new potent, safe, and selective agents for the treatment of cancer.
