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

We report the first total synthesis of PM742 using N-Boc-D-Norvaline and 2-Methyl-L-Cysteine hydrochloride as starting materials in a convergent sequence of eight chemical steps. This strategy provides efficient access to PM742 and enables the preparation of structurally related analogs. PM742 exhibited in vitro cytotoxic activity against a panel of human tumor cell lines, which prompted preliminary structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies. These efforts led to the preparation of PM534, a related analog with improved activity that has now entered Phase I clinical trials in humans.
