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

Nucleoside diphosphate kinases (NDKs) play a key role in maintaining the intracellular energy resources as well as the balance of nucleotide pools. Recently, attention has been directed to NDKs owing to its role in activating various chemotherapeutic agents. The binding affinity of different nucleotides with P. falciparum NDK was varied according to the following order ADP ~ GDP > dGDP > dADP > dTDP > CDP > dCDP > UDP. The binding of purines nucleotides was stronger than pyrimidines. Furthermore, PfNDK showed more preferences to ribonucleotides over deoxyribonucleotides. Pyrimidines showed lower negative free energy compared with that of purines. The interaction of all nucleotides showed favorable enthalpic and entropic terms. However, the enthalpic terms were the main deriving forces for purine nucleotides, while the entropic contributions were the predominant forces for pyrimidines. Interestingly, TDP showed marked affinity and more favorable enthalpic and less entropic contributions. In conclusion, the size of nucleotide was the critical factor in PfNDK ligand affinity.
