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

Myo-inositol-1-phosphate (MIP) synthase is a key enzyme in the myo-inositol biosynthesis pathway. Disruption of the inositol signaling pathway is associated with bipolar disorders. Previous work suggested that MIP synthase could be an attractive target for the development of anti-bipolar drugs. Inhibition of this enzyme could possibly help in reducing the risk of a disease in patients. With this objective, three dimensional structure of the protein was modeled followed by the active site prediction. For the first time, computational studies were carried out to obtain structural insights into the interactive behavior of this enzyme with ligands. Virtual screening was carried out using FILTER, ROCS and EON modules of the OpenEye scientific software. Natural products from the ZINC database were used for the screening process. Resulting compounds were docked into active site of the target protein using FRED (Fast Rigid Exhaustive Docking) and GOLD (Genetic Optimization for Ligand Docking) docking programs. The analysis indicated extensive hydrogen bonding network and hydrophobic interactions which play a significant role in ligand binding. Four compounds are shortlisted and their binding assay analysis is underway.
