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

While platinum-based chemotherapeutic agents have established themselves as indispensable components of anticancer therapy, they are accompanied by a variety of side effects and the rapid occurrence of drug resistance. A promising strategy to address these challenges is the use of platinum(iv) prodrugs, which remain inert until they reach the tumor tissue, thereby mitigating detrimental effects on healthy cells. Typically, platinum drugs are part of combination therapy settings. Consequently, a very elegant strategy is the development of platinum(iv) prodrugs bearing a second, clinically relevant therapeutic in axial position. In the present study, we focused on gemcitabine as an approved antimetabolite, which is highly synergistic with platinum drugs. In addition, to increase plasma half-life and facilitate tumor-specific accumulation, an albumin-binding maleimide moiety was attached. Our investigations revealed that maleimide-cisplatin(iv)-gemcitabine complexes cannot carry sufficient amounts of gemcitabine to induce a significant effect
