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

Nineteen potential mimics of 8,9-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid (8,9-EET), a natural bioactive oxylipin, were synthesized and evaluated for their ability to protect renal mesangial cells against sorafenib-induced cell death in a water-soluble tetrazolium (WST-8) assay. All compounds were also evaluated as inhibitors of soluble epoxide hydrolase. As expected of a potent pan-kinase inhibitor the drug sorafenib caused a significant decrease in cell viability in HRMCs. Several analogs containing amide and oxamide groups in place of the epoxide showed efficacy in reducing sorafenib induced human renal mesangial cell (HRMC) death. Oxamide containing analogs proved particularly effective, with the most promising analog increasing cell viability five-fold over control at 1 µM. These analogs, containing an oxamide group as a bioisostere for the epoxide in 8,9-EET, did not display significant inhibitory activity towards soluble epoxide hydrolase. This preliminary structure-activity relationship analysis reveals the oxamide group as a promising bioisostere for the epoxide in the 8,9-position of the fatty acid chain, producing protective effects against sorafenib-induced cell death in HRMCs. Collectively, these findings demonstrate the potential for using epoxide mimics and particularly oxamides as 8,9-EET analogs as bioisosteres of the corresponding epoxide in a therapeutic strategy against sorafenib-induced glomerular nephrotoxicity.
