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

Cancer remains one of the leading causes of mortality, accounting for millions of deaths worldwide each year and posing a persistent challenge to global health despite advances in diagnosis and treatment. Dual inhibition of thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) and cancer-associated carbonic anhydrase (CA) isoforms IX and XII represents a promising strategy for selective anticancer therapy by simultaneously disrupting cellular redox homeostasis and pH regulation. The antibacterial agent furagin has been previously explored as an inhibitor of cancer-associated carbonic anhydrases; however, its potential as a TrxR inhibitor has not yet been investigated. In this study, a series of furagin derivatives-nitrofuran-based hydrazones (7a-7s)-were designed and synthesized as potential dual TrxR/CA inhibitors. The derivatives were screened for CA inhibition using a stopped-flow CO
