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

The oncoprotein MDM2 negatively regulates the activity and stability of the p53 tumor suppressor and is an important molecular target for anticancer therapy. Aided by mirror image phage display and native chemical ligation, we have previously discovered several proteolysis-resistant duodecimal d-peptide antagonists of MDM2, termed (D)PMI-α, β, γ. The prototypic d-peptide inhibitor (D)PMI-α binds ((25-109))MDM2 at an affinity of 220 nM and kills tumor cells in vitro and inhibits tumor growth in vivo by reactivating the p53 pathway. Herein, we report the design of a superactive d-peptide antagonist of MDM2, termed (D)PMI-δ, of which the binding affinity for ((25-109))MDM2 has been improved over (D)PMI-α by 3 orders of magnitude (K(d) = 220 pM). X-ray crystallographic studies validate (D)PMI-δ as an exceedingly potent inhibitor of the p53-MDM2 interaction, promising to be a highly attractive lead drug candidate for anticancer therapeutic development.
