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

We synthesized phenyl ring-substituted analogues of N(6)-(1S,2R)-(2-phenyl-1-cyclopropyl)adenosine, which is highly potent in binding to the human A(3)AR with a Ki value of 0.63 nM. The effects of these structural changes on affinity at human and rat adenosine receptors and on intrinsic efficacy at the hA(3)AR were measured. A 3-nitrophenyl analogue was resolved chromatographically into pure diastereomers, which displayed 10-fold stereoselectivity in A(3)AR binding in favor of the 1S,2R isomer. A molecular model defined a hydrophobic region (Phe168) in the putative A(3)AR binding site around the phenyl moiety. A heteroaromatic group (3-thienyl) could substitute for the phenyl moiety with retention of high affinity of A(3)AR binding. Other related N(6)-substituted adenosine derivatives were included for comparison. Although the N(6)-(2-phenyl-1-cyclopropyl) derivatives were full A(3)AR agonists, several other derivatives had greatly reduced efficacy. N(6)-Cyclopropyladenosine was an A(3)AR antagonist, and adding either one or two phenyl rings at the 2-position of the cyclopropyl moiety restored efficacy. N(6)-(2,2-Diphenylethyl)adenosine was an A(3)AR antagonist, and either adding a bond between the two phenyl rings (N(6)-9-fluorenylmethyl) or shortening the ethyl moiety (N(6)-diphenylmethyl) restored efficacy. A QSAR study of the N(6) region provided a model that was complementary to the putative A(3)AR binding site in a rhodopsin-based homology model. Thus, a new series of high-affinity A(3)AR agonists and related nucleoside antagonists was explored through both empirical and theoretical approaches.
