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

Chromatin organization, which is under the control of histone deacetylases (HDACs), is frequently deregulated in cancer cells. Amongst HDACs, HDAC8 plays an oncogenic role in different neoplasias by acting on both histone and non-histone substrates. Promising anti-cancer strategies have exploited dual-targeting drugs that inhibit both HDAC8 and tubulin. These drugs have shown the potential to enhance the outcome of anti-cancer treatments by simultaneously targeting multiple pathways critical to disease onset and progression. In this study, a structure-based virtual screening (SBVS) of 96403 natural compounds was performed towards the four Class I HDAC isoforms and tubulin. Using molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations (MDs), we identified two molecules that could selectively interact with HDAC8 and tubulin. CNP0112925 (arundinin), bearing a polyphenolic structure, was confirmed to inhibit HDAC8 activity and tubulin organization, affecting breast cancer cell viability and triggering mitochondrial superoxide production and apoptosis.
