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

Ovarian cancer is characterized by early metastatic dissemination, frequent relapses, and limited therapeutic options following the onset of platinum resistance. To address these challenges, a dual-action gold-(I) prodrug, RDL-15, was designed to concurrently interfere with intracellular redox regulation and extracellular matrix remodeling. RDL-15 combines the gold-(I) pharmacophore derived from Auranofin with the scaffold of LP-158, a carboxylate-based inhibitor of gelatinases MMP-2 and MMP-9 previously described. The complex retains micromolar cytotoxic activity in ovarian cancer cell lines A2780 and SKOV-3, including the cisplatin and AF-resistant A2780/R variant, and induces an early reduction of thioredoxin reductase activity. In SKOV-3 cells, characterized by high migratory and invasive capacity, RDL-15 significantly suppresses migration and invasion, whereas Et
