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

Prodrugs that improve drug delivery in the body are highly desirable because they increase drug solubility and activity, thereby reducing drug concentration and side effects compared to the actual active compound. In this work, we demonstrate the impact of titanocene scaffolds on active thiosemicarbazones (TSCN). Two routes toward cationic Ti-(IV) TSCN complexes were established either by the reaction of titanocene bis-(trimethylsilyl)-acetylene with TSCN and subsequent oxidation of the resulting Ti-(III) complex with ferrocenium triflate or by ligand exchange of the triflato ligands in titanocene-(IV) triflate with TSCN. The solubility and stability of the complexes in aqueous media were evaluated by NMR and ultraviolet/visible (UV/vis) spectroscopy. A selection of cationic Ti-(IV) TSCN complexes exhibit improved water solubility, stability and increased cytotoxicity at lower concentrations compared to pure TSCN, cisplatin and 5-FU in human colon cancer cells
