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

Pseudo-peptides are an important category of biologically active artificial small molecules. To access these important molecules, a novel series of bisazlactones was synthesized via the Erlenmeyer-Plöchl reaction, using glycine- and terephthaloyl-based diacid with aldehydes. These bisazlactones were then utilized as efficient intermediates in reactions with primary and secondary amines, providing novel pseudo-peptides containing enamide groups in high to excellent yields. The selected pseudo-peptide enamides exhibited selective cytotoxicity against hepatocarcinoma cells, while exhibiting negligible impact on normal mammalian cells. Notably, compound 6y displayed superior anti-cancer activity compared to the others.
