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

Modeling studies were performed on known inhibitors of the quadruple mutant Plasmodium falciparum dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR). GOLD was used to dock 32 pyrimethamine derivatives into the active site of DHFR obtained from the x-ray crystal structure 1J3K.pdb. Several scoring functions were evaluated and the Molegro Protein-Ligand Interaction Score was determined to have one of the best correlation to experimental pK ( i ). In conjunction with Protein-Ligand Interaction scores, predicted binding modes and key protein-ligand interactions were evaluated and analyzed in order to develop criteria for selecting compounds having a greater chance of activity versus resistant strains of Plasmodium falciparum. This methodology will be used in future studies for selection of compounds for focused screening libraries.
