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

Trypanosoma cruzi glutamate cysteine ligase (TcGCL) is considered a potential drug target to develop novel antichagasic drugs. We have used a variety of computational methods to investigate the interactions between TcGCL with Glutathione (GSH). The three-dimensional structure of TcGCL was constructed by comparative modeling methods using the Saccharomyces cerevisiae glutamate cysteine ligase as template. Molecular dynamics simulations were used to validate the TcGCL model and to analyze the molecular interactions with GSH. Using RMSD clustering, the most prevalent GSH binding modes were identified paying attention to the residues involved in the molecular interactions. The GSH binding modes were used to propose pharmacophore models that can be exploited in further studies to identify novel antichagasic compounds.
