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

The quinazolinone scaffold is widely present in natural compounds and serves as a core structural unit in various alkaloids. Its structural flexibility is a major advantage in anti‑tumor drug development. Characterized by a fused bicyclic system, this scaffold enables precise pharmacological modulation through targeted chemical modifications, allowing the regulation of multiple cell death pathways, including apoptosis, autophagy, ferroptosis, senescence, pyroptosis and necrosis. This review systematically describes the molecular mechanisms by which quinazolinone derivatives induce tumor cell death and critically evaluates their clinical translation potential. In addition, quinazolinone‑based agents approved by the Food and Drug Administration and those in preclinical development as targeted anti‑tumor therapies are summarized, providing new perspectives and methodological frameworks for advancing oncology drug discovery.
