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

Thioredoxins are multifunctional oxidoreductase proteins implicated in the antioxidant cellular apparatus and oxidative stress. They are involved in several pathologies and are promising anticancer targets. Identification of noncatalytic binding sites is of great interest for designing new allosteric inhibitors of thioredoxin. In a recent work, we predicted normal mode motions of human thioredoxin 1 and identified two major putative hydrophobic binding sites. In this work we investigated noncovalent interactions of human thioredoxin 1 with three phenotiazinic drugs acting as prooxidant compounds by using molecular docking and circular dichroism spectrometry to probe ligand binding into the previously predicted allosteric hydrophobic pockets. Our in silico and CD spectrometry experiments suggested one preferred allosteric binding site involving helix 3 and adopting the best druggable conformation identified by NMA. The CD spectra showed binding of thioridazine into thioredoxin 1 and suggested partial helix unfolding, which most probably concerns helix 3. Taken together, these data support the strategy to design thioredoxin inhibitors targeting a druggable allosteric binding site.
