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

A new series of glycosyl heterocyclic scaffolds, 5a-10b with N-glycosidic linkage, were synthesized, starting with 2-acetyl-1H-benzimidazole as a precursor of the propargyl-derived substrates (2) and (3), which were then converted to the target 1,2,3-triazole glycosides (8a-10b) bearing unprotected hydroxyl groups. The new chemical entities have been assessed for their cytotoxic properties on diverse human cancer cell lines, namely HepG-2 (human liver cancer), HCT-116 (human colorectal), and MCF-7 (human breast cancer), in addition to a human normal cell line (BJ-1), following the LDH assay and with erlotinib and doxorubicin as the standard references. Most of the tested compounds demonstrated potent activity, particularly the triazole glycosides 6b, 7b, 8b, 9a, 9b, 10a, and 10b. Compound 9a was the best against all targeted cell lines, particularly HepG-2 and HCT-116, by IC
