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

Mitonafide (4-nitro-benzoisoquinolinedione) and a number of structural analogs were synthesized and studied in order to determine the structural requirements for inhibition of leishmanial nuclear and kinetoplast topoisomerase II and human topoisomerase II. The structure-activity relationship studies with the mitonafide analogs demonstrated that there was selective targeting of leishmanial nuclear topoisomerase II and human topoisomerase II and differential targeting of kinetoplast over nuclear topoisomerase II in the parasite. Mitonafide analogs appeared to have multiple mechanisms of action leading to death of leishmanias, but several compounds that affected kinetoplast but not nuclear topoisomerase II were not cytotoxic as determined by short-term assays. These studies provide new insight into the differential sensitivities of leishmanial nuclear and kinetoplast topoisomerase II to topoisomerase II-targeting drugs.
