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

Breast cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery, often face significant limitations, highlighting the need for more effective and targeted therapies. Here, we investigate the potential of 266 nm laser irradiation of chlorpromazine as a novel approach to develop new antitumoral compounds. We identify six chlorpromazine photocompounds with masses in the range of 178-334 u, along with several dimeric compounds with masses between 566 and 600 u, using an HPLC-MS. In silico approaches assess their pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties while comparing their toxicity with the parent compound. Molecular docking simulations indicate that some photoproducts have a low estimated free energy of binding to cancer-related targets, suggesting enhanced therapeutic potential compared to chlorpromazine. Additionally, ADME-Tox predictions indicate that these photoproducts may have pharmacokinetic and toxicity profiles similar to chlorpromazine. Overall, this study highlights that laser-generated chlorpromazine photoproducts exhibit enhanced biological activity to breast cancer-related targets compared to chlorpromazine while maintaining a similar ADME-Tox profile.
