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

Background and purpose: Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is a molecular chaperone critical for the stabilization of numerous oncoproteins, making it a promising target for anticancer drug development. This study aimed to design, synthesize, and evaluate novel 3,5-diarylisoxazole derivatives as potential Hsp90 inhibitors. Experimental approach: A series of 3,5-diarylisoxazole compounds (5R Findings/Results: All compounds showed favorable binding energies. Compound 5R3 showed the highest binding affinity (ΔG = -7.83 kcal/mol) and the highest cytotoxicity against MCF-7 cells (IC50 = 0.014 μM) and significantly reduced Hsp90 concentration from 5.54 ng/mL (untreated) to 1.56 ng/mL. Furthermore, molecular dynamics simulation studies confirmed the stability of the Hsp90-5R Conclusion and implications: Compound 5R
