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

Aiming to identify highly effective and selective G-quadruplex ligands as anticancer candidates, five natural compounds were investigated here, i.e., the alkaloids Canadine, D-Glaucine and Dicentrine, as well as the flavonoids Deguelin and Millettone, selected as analogs of compounds previously identified as promising G-quadruplex-targeting ligands. A preliminary screening with the G-quadruplex on the Controlled Pore Glass assay proved that, among the investigated compounds, Dicentrine is the most effective ligand of telomeric and oncogenic G-quadruplexes, also showing good G-quadruplex vs. duplex selectivity. In-depth studies in solution demonstrated the ability of Dicentrine to thermally stabilize telomeric and oncogenic G-quadruplexes without affecting the control duplex. Interestingly, it showed higher affinity for the investigated G-quadruplex structures over the control duplex (K
