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

Mono- and bis-guanyl hydrazone-functionalized tricyclic compounds were here designed and investigated as putative G-quadruplex ligands in the context of anticancer drug development. The G-quadruplex on Controlled Pore Glass (G4-CPG) assay, a fast and easy screening method based on affinity chromatography for identifying potential G-quadruplex binders, together with biophysical techniques such as circular dichroism and fluorescence spectroscopy, demonstrated a higher selectivity of mono- with respect to disubstituted derivatives in recognizing G-quadruplexes from telomeric and oncogenic DNA regions vs. duplexes. Among the mono-substituted compounds, higher G-quadruplex selectivity was found for those containing the pyrido [3,4-
