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

Purpose: The study of the cytotoxic effect of variously substituted indole- and benzimidazo[1,2-c]quinazolines may prove particularly valuable in the context of developing new, effective anticancer therapies based on MSCs. The unique ability of MSCs to migrate and inhabit the tumor microenvironment makes them an ideal tool for transferring chemotherapeutic agents. The aim of this study was to evaluate the cytotoxic activity of 4-(6-indolo[1,2-c]quinazoline)2-methyl-benzene-1,3-diol (compound A) and 4-(6-benzimidazolo[1,2-c]quinazoline)2-methyl-benzene-1,3-diol (compound B) relative to the adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells line (ASC52-telo) and the fibroblast line (HDFa). Materials and Methods: The test was performed on commercial cell lines: ASC52-telo and HDFa which were incubated with compounds A and B at four concentrations: 1 μg/mL, 2 μg/mL, 4 μg/mL, 8 μg/mL for 48 and 72 hours. The MTT test was performed to assess the cytotoxicity and determine the IC Results: The results of the research indicate that both tested compounds showed stronger cytotoxic activity towards ASC52-telo than HDFa cells. In addition, compound A is characterized by greater cytotoxicity towards both tested cell lines compared to compound B. Conclusion: The indole- and benzimidazo[1,2-c]quinazolines used in the study could potentially be used in MSCs-based therapy. There is a need to further investigate the safety of using MSCs as drug carriers, and to examine the anticancer activity of the tested compounds, as well as to perform additional and valuable assays, such as enzymatic and toxicity tests.
