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

introductionCancer is one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Current treatments for both solid and hematological tumors are associated with severe adverse effects and drug resistance, necessitating the development of novel selective antineoplastic drugs.

methodsThe present study describes the antitumor activity of the imidazacridine derivative 5- acridin-9-ylmethylidene-2-thioxoimidazolidin-4-one (LPSF/AC05) in breast cancer, leukemia, and lymphoma cells. Cytotoxicity assays were performed in PBMC and in breast cancer, leukemia, and lymphoma cell lines using the MTT method. Changes in cell cycle progression and apoptosis were assessed using flow cytometry. Moreover, topoisomerase II inhibition assays were performed. LPSF/AC05 exhibited cytotoxicity in six of the nine cell lines tested.

resultsThe best results for leukemia and lymphoma were observed in the Toledo, Jurkat, and Raji cell lines (IC

conclusionThese results indicate the potential application of LPSF/AC05 in cancer therapy.
