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

introductionPhosphatidylinositol 3-kinases (PI3Ks) overexpression can elicit cellular homeostatic dysregulation, which further contributes to tumorigenesis, with PI3Kα emerging as the most prevalent mutant isoform kinase among PI3Ks. Therefore, selective inhibitors targeting PI3Kα have attracted considerable interest in recent years. Molecular hybridization, with the advantage of simplified pharmacokinetics and drug-drug interactions, emerged as one of the important avenues for discovering potential drugs.

objectivesThis study aimed to construct PI3Kα inhibitors by hybridization and investigate their antitumor activity and mechanism.

methods26 quinazoline-2-indolinone derivatives were obtained by molecular hybridization, and their structure-activity relationship was analyzed by MTT, in vitro kinase activity and molecular docking. The biological evaluation of compound 8 was performed by transwell, flow cytometry, laser scanning confocal microscopy, Western blot, CTESA and immunohistochemistry.

resultsHere, we employed molecular hybridization methods to construct a series of quinazoline-2-indolinone derivatives as PI3Kα selective inhibitors. Encouragingly, representative compound 8 exhibited a PI3Kα enzymatic IC

conclusionsThis study presented a new avenue for the development of PI3Kα inhibitors and provided a solid foundation for novel QHIDs as potential future therapies for the treatment of NSCLC.
