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

A robust, high-throughput, two-tiered assay for screening small molecule inhibitors against botulinum neurotoxin serotype A was developed and employed to screen 16,544 compounds. Thirty-four compounds were identified as potent hits employing the first-tier assay. Subsequently, nine were confirmed as actives by our second-tier confirmatory assay. Of these, one displayed potent inhibitory efficacy, possessing an IC(50)=16 microM (+/-1.6 microM) in our in vitro assay. This inhibitor (0831-1035) is highly water-soluble, and possesses an IC(50)=47 microM (+/-7.0 microM) in our primary cell culture assay (with virtually no cytotoxicity up to 500 microM), suggesting that this inhibitor is a good candidate for further development as a therapeutic countermeasure to treat botulism resulting from botulinum neurotoxin serotype A intoxication. An enzyme kinetics study indicated that this inhibitor exhibits mixed non-competitive inhibition, with a K(I)=9 microM.
