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

The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling nodes play a crucial role in many human cancers. Due to the molecular reciprocity between MAPK and mTOR signaling nodes, development of compounds with multikinase targeting was explored. A series of mTOR inhibitor analogs of AZD8055 and AZD2014 were designed to allow for covalent linking to a potent MAPK kinase (MEK) inhibitor to produce a single, bivalent chemical entity. Dual-acting agents (i.e., compound LP-65) were synthesized displaying high in vitro inhibition of both MEK (IC
