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 has become the most prevalent cancer for the past three decades, and the 5-years survival rate of lung cancer is only ~20% nowadays. Chemotherapy is the mainstay of lung cancer therapy, especially for non-small cell lung cancer. However, drug resistance represents a principal cause of therapeutic failure in non-small cell lung cancer leading to therapeutic insensitivity, tumor recurrence, and disease progression. Indole hybrids have the potential to conquer drug resistance, enhance efficacy, reduce adverse events, and improve pharmacokinetic properties due to their capacity to inhibit multiple targets simultaneously. Moreover, indole hybrids osimertinib, mobocertinib, cediranib, and vizimpro are currently applied in clinics for lung cancer therapy, demonstrating that indole hybrids are valuable scaffolds in the treatment and eradication of lung cancer. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the evolving landscape of indole hybrids with the in vitro and in vivo efficacy against lung cancer, and the structure-activity relationships as well as mechanisms of action are also discussed, covering articles published from 2021 onward.
