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

Protein kinase inhibitors are a well-established class of clinically useful drugs, particularly for the treatment of cancer. Achieving inhibitor selectivity for particular protein kinases often remains a significant challenge in the development of new small molecules as drugs or as tools for chemical biology research. This review summarises the methodologies available for measuring kinase inhibitor selectivity, both in vitro and in cells. The interpretation of kinase inhibitor selectivity data is discussed, particularly with reference to the structural biology of the protein targets. Measurement and prediction of kinase inhibitor selectivity will be important for the development of new multi-targeted kinase inhibitors.
