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

We present a comprehensive study on the chemical reactivity in the gas phase, with amino acids and peptides, and in the cell, the anticancer activity and localization of a series of seven cationic biphenyl gold(III) complexes with aryl, alkyl, and chiral diphosphine ancillary ligands. Despite some structural differences, all the complexes similarly featured high stability toward reduction or ligand exchange in cell-free conditions. The biphenyl Au(III) complex including the 1,2-diphenylphosphinoethane (dppe) ligand manifested the same high stability in a cellular setting, as attested by a combination of cryo-Synchrotron Radiation-X-Ray Fluorescence (cryo-SR-XRF) nano-imaging and cryo-Synchrotron Radiation-X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (cryo-SR-XAS) measurements. Tandem cryo-SR-XRF elemental mapping and confocal fluorescence microscopy demonstrated the selective accumulation of the dppe complex in mitochondria. This represents the first study of the speciation and distribution of an organogold(III) complex in cancer cells.
