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

Cisplatin analogues were synthesised that consisted of platinum(II) diamine complexes tethered via a polymethylene chain ( n = 3, 5, 8 and 10) to a phenanthridinium cation. Both chloro and iodo leaving groups were examined. DNA adduct formation was quantitatively analysed using a linear amplification system with the plasmid pGEM-3Zf(+). This system utilised Taq DNA polymerase to extend from an oligonucleotide primer to the damage site. This damage site inhibited the extension of the DNA polymerase. The products were electrophoresed on a DNA sequencing gel enabling adduct formation to be determined at base pair resolution. The damage intensity at each site was determined by densitometry. The platinum phenanthridinium complexes were shown to damage DNA at shorter incubation times than cisplatin. To produce similar levels of damage, an 18 h incubation was required for cisplatin compared to 30 min for the n = 3 platinum phenanthridinium complexes; this indicates that the intercalating chromophore causes a large increase in the rate of platination. A reaction mechanism involving direct displacement of the chloride by the N-7 of guanine may account for the rate increase. These results indicate that further development of these compounds could lead to more effective cancer chemotherapeutic agents.
