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

This study aimed to evaluate the anticancer activity of 16 new sunitinib derivatives in brain cancer cells (2D model) and spheroids (3D model). The effect on cell viability was determined by the MTT assay. Single-cell migration assay was performed to examine the effect of selected compounds on individual cell migration. The activity of compounds in 3D cell cultures was examined by measuring the size change of spheroids formed using the Hanging drop method. The viability of brain cancer (U-87MG and A-172) cells was most reduced by compound EMAC4001. EMAC4001 showed the strongest effect on U-87MG cell migration, and EMAC4007 was the most active in the A-172 cell line. Only sunitinib had a statistically significant impact on spheroid growth at 100 nM and 500 nM concentrations in the U87-MG cell line and EMAC4007 had a statistically significant impact on A-172 spheroid growth at 100 nM and 500 nM concentrations, similarly to sunitinib.
