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

backgroundBreast cancer is the most common tumor among females globally. Its prevalence is growing around the world, and it is alleged to be the leading cause of cancer death. Approved anti-breast cancer drugs display several side effects and resistance during the early treatment stage. Hence, there is a need for the development of more effective and safer drugs. This research was aimed at designing more potent quinazolin-4(3H)-one molecules as breast cancer inhibitors using a ligand-based design approach, studying their modes of interaction with the target enzyme using molecular docking simulation, and predicting their pharmacological properties.

methodsThe QSAR model was developed using a series of quinazoline-4(3H)-one derivatives by utilizing Material Studio v8.0 software and validated both internally and externally. Applicability domain virtual screening was utilized in selecting the template molecule, which was structurally modified to design more potent molecules. The inhibitive capacities of the design molecules were predicted using the developed model. Furthermore, molecular docking was performed with the EGFR target active site residues, which were obtained from the protein data bank online server (PDB ID: 2ITO) using Molegro Virtual Docker (MVD) software. SwissADME and pkCSM online sites were utilized in predicting the pharmacological properties of the designed molecules.

resultsFour QSAR models were generated, and the first model was selected due to its excellent internal and external statistical parameters as follows: R

conclusionsThe designed derivatives could be utilized as novel anti-breast cancer agents.
