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

Ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease are chronic, immune-mediated inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Nuclear Factor Kappa B (NF-κB) is a transcription factor that plays a key role in regulating expression of multiple inflammatory and immune genes. In this study, a Topological Virtual Screening study has been carried out to achieve a model capable of finding new compounds active in ulcerative colitis by inhibiting NF-κB. Different topological indices were used as structural descriptors, and their relation to biological activity was determined using linear discriminant analysis. A topological model consisting of two discriminant functions was built up. The first function focused in the discrimination between NF-κB active and inactive compounds, and the second one in distinguishing between compounds active and inactive on ulcerative colitis. The model was then applied sequentially to a large database of compounds with unknown activity. Twenty-eight of such compounds were predicted to be active and selected for in vitro and in vivo testing.
