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

Cancer is one of the most lethal diseases of this century. Unfortunately, many anticancer agents have harsh side effects or fail to work against cancer any longer due to tolerance. Dihydropyrimidinones are promising structures containing a pyrimidine ring. Targeting Eg5 is their most well-known activity. Inhibition of this enzyme gives them the privilege of strong cytotoxic activity with less side effects. Phenyl ring is a group that can be found in the majority of organic molecules and possesses preferable pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics. This review studies DHPM derivatives that are substituted with a phenyl ring and possess antiproliferative ability by inhibiting Eg5. The compounds are able to inhibit different cancer cell lines, and some are more potent than the standard drug. The biological results are in accordance with the docking studies.
