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 dysfunction of HDACs is closely related to tumorigenesis and development, which has emerged as an attractive target for cancer therapy. In this study, a series of thiazole-containing hydroxamate derivatives were designed and synthesized as novel HDAC inhibitors. Among these inhibitors, compounds 15a and 15d showed excellent inhibitory activities against HDAC1 and HepG2 cancer cell line, these two compounds increased the levels of acetylated histone H3 and H4. Moreover, 15a and 15d significantly arrested HepG2 cells at the G0/G1 phase. Additionally, these two compounds could induce apoptosis and pyroptosis. Moreover, 15a exhibited significant antitumor activity in the HepG2 xenograft model. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation studies revealed the possible interaction mode of compound 15a with HDAC1. Besides, the preliminary pharmacokinetics study of compound 15a in vivo was evaluated. These results suggested that these novel thiazole-based HDAC inhibitors might become a promising scaffold for further structural optimization.
