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

Recent expansion of immunocompromised population has led to significant rise in zygomycosis caused by filamentous fungus Rhizopus oryzae. Due to emergence of fungal resistance and side-effects of antifungal drugs, there is increased demand for novel drug targets. The current study elucidates molecular interactions of peptide drugs with G-6-P synthase (catalyzing the rate-limiting step of fungal cell wall biosynthetic pathway) of R.oryzae by molecular docking studies. The PDB structures of enzyme in R.oryzae are not known which were predicted using I-TASSER server and validated with PROCHECK. Peptide inhibitors, FMDP and ADGP previously used against enzyme of E.coli (PDBid: 1XFF), were used for docking studies of enzyme in R.oryzae by SchrödingerMaestro v9.1. To investigate binding between enzyme and inhibitors, Glide and Induced Fit docking were performed. IFD results of 1XFF with FMDP yielded C1, R73, W74, T76, G99 and D123 as the binding sites. C379 and Q427 appear to be vital for binding of R.oryzae enzymes to inhibitors. The comparison results of IFD scores of enzyme in R.oryzae and E.coli (PDBid: 2BPL) yield appreciable score, hinting at the probable effectiveness of inhibitors FMDP and ADGP against R.oryzae, with ADGP showing an improved enzyme affinity. Moreover, the two copies of gene G-6-P synthase due to extensive fungal gene duplication, in R. oryzae eliminating the problem of drug ineffectiveness could act as a potential antifungal drug target in R. oryzae with the application of peptide ligands.
