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

In this study, we report the synthesis of 14 Biginelli adducts and the evaluation of their anticancer activity against three human cancer cell lines: MCF-7 (breast), SW480 (colon), and Hep-G2 (liver), as well as the noncancerous Hek-293 cell line. Among the synthesized derivatives, compound 8n emerged as the most potent, inducing significant cytotoxicity and apoptosis in MCF-7 cells. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis showed that specific modifications, such as methyl and nitro substitutions, enhanced anticancer activity, whereas bulky substituents reduced potency. Further investigations confirmed that compound 8n induces cell cycle arrest at the S and G2/M phases, highlighting its antiproliferative mechanism. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations suggest that compound 8n could bind to Eg5, a potential regulator of cell division. However, this study did not include direct biochemical testing of the protein target (Eg5).
