Determination of Inhibitory Effect of PKM2 Enzyme and Antitumoral Activity of Novel Coumarin-naphthoquinone Hybrids.
Article in Current medicinal chemistry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
backgroundOral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) represents the primary form of oral cancer, posing a significant global health threat. The existing chemotherapy options are accompanied by notable side effects impacting patient treatment adherence. Consequently, the exploration and development of novel substances with enhanced anticancer effects and fewer side effects have become pivotal in the realms of biological and chemical science.
objectiveThis work presents the pioneering examples of naphthoquinone-coumarin hybrids as a new category of highly effective cytotoxic substances targeting oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).
methodsGiven the significance of both naphthoquinones and coumarins as essential pharmacophores/ privileged structures in the quest for anticancer compounds, this study focused on the synthesis and evaluation of novel naphthoquinones/coumarin hybrids against oral squamous cell carcinoma.
resultsBy several
conclusionWe assert that compound 6e shows promise as a potential lead for a novel chemotherapeutic drug targeting OSCC, with potential applicability to other cancer types.
