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

introductionThe overexpression and/or mutations of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) are associated with the progression of several cancers. Thiourea derivatives have emerged as promising compounds to target EGFR for cancer treatment.

methodsTen thiourea derivatives (1-10) underwent virtual screening, were synthesized, and evaluated on EGFR-expressing cells and normal fibroblasts. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Compound 3 had the highest binding affinity towards HER1 and HER2 (EGFR family) with the Lowest Binding Energy (LBE) values of -9.6 and -10.9 kcal/mol, respectively. Against lung cancer cells, H69 and H2073 cells, compound 3 had IC

conclusionCompound 3 has shown to have cytotoxic effects against EGFR-expressing lung cancer cells, causes an additive effect with conventional chemotherapy, and may be used to treat multi-drug-resistant cancers.
