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

One of the most essential health problems is cancer, the first or second cause of death worldwide. Head and neck cancers are hard to detect due to non-specific symptoms. The treatment often relies on a combination of radio and chemotherapy. For this reason, the research of new anticancer compounds is fundamental. The natural and synthetic compounds with 1,4-naphthoquinone scaffold is characterized by high anticancer activity. The study aimed to evaluate the synthesis and anticancer activity of hybrids 1,4-naphthoquinone with thymidine derivatives. The series of compounds allows us to check the influence of the substituent in the C3' position of the thymidine moiety on the cytotoxicity against squamous cancer cell lines (SCC-9 and SCC-25) and submandibular gland cancer (A-253). An annexin V/propidium iodide (PI) co-staining assay shows that derivatives cause the apoptotic in SCC-25 and A-253 cell lines. The molecular docking study examined the interaction between the active site of the BCL-2 protein and the hybrids.
