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

Madangamine alkaloids have attracted considerable interest in the scientific community due to their complex polycyclic structures and potent biological activities. The six members identified to date have exhibited diverse and significant cytotoxic activities against various cancer cell lines. Despite their structural complexity, seven total syntheses-covering five of the six members-have been reported to date. These syntheses, involving 28 to 36 steps and global yields ranging from 0.006% to 0.029%, highlight the formidable challenge these compounds present. This review summarizes the key synthetic strategies developed to access critical fragments, including the construction of the ABC diazatricyclic core and the ACE ring systems. Approaches to assembling the ABCD and ABCE tetracyclic frameworks are also discussed. Finally, we highlight the completed total syntheses of madangamines A-E, with a focus on pivotal transformations and strategic innovations that have enabled progress in this field.
