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

For the first time, the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of tryptophanol-derived isoindolinones, previously reported as p53 activators, was investigated. From the metabolites' identification, performed by liquid chromatography coupled to high resolution tandem mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS/MS), followed by their preparation and structural elucidation, it was possible to identify that the indole C2 and C3 are the main target of the cytochrome P450 (CYP)-promoted oxidative metabolism in the tryptophanol-derived isoindolinone scaffold. Based on these findings, to search for novel p53 activators a series of 16 enantiopure tryptophanol-derived isoindolinones substituted with a bromine in indole C2 was prepared, in yields of 62-89%, and their antiproliferative activity evaluated in human colon adenocarcinoma HCT116 cell lines with and without p53. Structural optimization led to the identification of two (
