Camptothein-Based Anti-Cancer Therapies and Strategies to Improve Their Therapeutic Index.
Review in Cancers, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Camptothecin and its derivatives (CPTs) are potent antineoplastic agents that exert their effects by inhibiting DNA topoisomerase I, leading to apoptosis during cell proliferation. Since their discovery in the 1960s, CPTs have faced challenges such as low water solubility, pH-dependent lactone ring instability, and severe off-target toxicities. Despite extensive research, only two CPTs, irinotecan and topotecan, have received health authority approval. Ongoing clinical trials continue to explore the use of CPTs in combination with targeted therapies and immunotherapies to expand their clinical use. Drug delivery systems, including liposomes and antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), have significantly enhanced the therapeutic index of CPTs. Liposomal irinotecan (Onivyde
