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

Cancer cells generally present a higher demand for iron, which plays crucial roles in tumor progression and metastasis. This iron addiction provides opportunities to develop broad spectrum anticancer drugs that target iron metabolism. In this context, prochelation approaches are investigated to release metal-binding compounds under specific conditions, thereby limiting off-target toxicity. Here, we demonstrate a prochelation strategy inspired by the bioreduction of tetrazolium cations widely employed to assess the viability of mammalian cells. We designed a series of tetrazolium-based compounds for the intracellular release of metal-binding formazan ligands. The combination of reduction potentials appropriate for intracellular reduction and an
