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

In this study four and five-feature pharmacophores for selective antagonists at each of the three α(1)-adrenoceptor (AR) subtypes were used to identify novel α(1)-AR subtype selective compounds in the National Cancer Institute and Tripos LeadQuest databases. 12 compounds were selected, based on diversity of structure, predicted high affinity and selectivity at the α(1D)- subtype compared to α(1A)- and α(1B)-ARs. 9 out of 12 of the tested compounds displayed affinity at the α(1A) and α(1D) -AR subtypes and 6 displayed affinity at all three α(1)-AR subtypes, no α(1B)-AR selective compounds were identified. 8 of the 9 compounds with α(1)-AR affinity were antagonists and one compound displayed partial agonist characteristics. This virtual screening has successfully identified an α(1A/D)-AR selective antagonist, with low µM affinity with a novel structural scaffold of a an isoquinoline fused three-ring system and good lead-like qualities ideal for further drug development.
