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

Lung cancer is the most prevalent invasive malignancy and the leading cause of cancer-related death. Chemotherapy is vital for lung cancer therapy, but multidrug resistance is responsible for the majority of lung cancer fatalities, creating an imperative demand to develop novel chemotherapeutics. Indole is a valuable anti-lung cancer pharmacophore since its derivatives could act on lung cancer cells through various mechanisms. Notably, indole hybrids could inhibit multiple targets simultaneously and have the potential to overcome the shortcomings of traditional chemotherapeutics. Moreover, many indole hybrids such as the indole-pyrimidine hybrid osimertinib and the indole-hydroxamic acid hybrid panobinostat, are either under clinical evaluations or have already been approved for lung cancer therapy. This indicates that the rational design of indole hybrids represents a highly prospective approach for the development of new anti-lung cancer chemotherapeutic agents. This review focuses on exploring the anti-lung cancer therapeutic potential of indole hybrids and delves into their action mechanisms as well as structure-activity correlations, covering articles published between 2021 and present. The ultimate goal is to offer a foundation for the rational design of indole hybrids in the future.
