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

Polo-like kinase 4 (PLK4), a member of the serine/threonine protein kinase family, serves as a central regulator of centriole duplication and plays a critical role in eukaryotic mitosis. Overexpression of PLK4 in several cancer types underscores its potential as a therapeutic target. In our previous studies, compound 28t demonstrated acceptable kinase inhibitory activity but exhibited poor cellular activity. Consequently, 28t was selected as a lead compound for further optimization. Through functional group migration and rational drug design strategies, we conducted structural modifications that ultimately yielded 23 novel indazole-based PLK4 inhibitors. Among these, compound C05 exhibited exceptional kinase inhibitory activity (IC
