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

Human carbonic anhydrase IX (hCA IX) is markedly overexpressed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma and plays a key role in establishing an acidic tumor microenvironment associated with intrinsic chemoresistance. Extracellular acidification limits the uptake and efficacy of several cytotoxic agents, including bendamustine, a bifunctional alkylating agent whose activity depends on intracellular accumulation and DNA cross-link formation. Herein, we report the design and synthesis of novel bendamustine-carbonic anhydrase inhibitor (CAI) hybrids aimed at combining CA IX targeting with DNA-damaging activity. Structural modification of the bendamustine butyric acid side chain enabled the introduction of CAI warheads while preserving the alkylating moiety. The resulting compounds were evaluated against hCA I, II, IX, and XII, displaying preferential inhibition of the tumor-associated isoforms. Selected derivatives (
