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

backgroundNeuroblastoma (NB) is a childhood cancer causing significant mortality in at least 1% children worldwide. NB is an embryonically derived tumor. The causative agents include genetic predisposition and dysregulated signaling cascades. Survivin is an important anti-apoptotic protein that is significantly up-regulated in NB. In this study, a naturally occurring ligand - Piperine was assessed for its interaction with Survivin protein. PURPOSE: The study was undertaken in order to identify the experimental feasibility of Survivin inhibitor ligand Piperine as targeting treatment of NB.

methodsProtein sequences were retrieved and saved in PDB format. Similarly, the ligand data was processed using MGL (Molecular Graphics Laboratory) and chimera tools and saved in PDB format. Both protein and the ligand data were then uploaded to the docking server and docking parameters were set.

resultsIn-silico docking study of a protein ligand interaction resulted in -3.36 Kcal/mol free energy value for the ligand, with an involvement of 1 hydrogen bond, 7 hydrophobic interactions and 13 ionic interactions. The results were correlated with the existing free energy value of > -3 Kcal/mol which is established for a good inhibitor.

conclusionThe molecular docking study for mice Survivin and Piperine shows good inhibitory interaction effect and can, therefore, be considered as a molecule against Survivin enhanced tumor condition including NB.
