Design, synthesis, and characterization of rhein analogs as novel inhibitors of scavenger receptor A.

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.
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
Scavenger receptor A (SRA) has been known as an immunosuppressive factor and therefore therapeutic inhibition of SRA may be potentially exploited for cancer immunotherapy. Our previously work suggested that rhein may act as an inhibitor of SRA in reversing immunosuppression of SRA during T cells activation. Herein, three deconstruction analogs of rhein, compound 1, 2, and 3, were further studied as inhibitors of SRA. These three compounds, particularly compound 1, also known as a natural product danthron, enhanced T cells activation, indicated by increased transcriptional activation of interleukin 2 (Il2) gene, production of IL-2 protein, and proliferation of T cells. Additionally, the interaction between these compounds and SRA was studied by molecular modeling. Compound 1 showed a favorable binding mode with the cysteine rich domain of SRA protein compared to compound 2 and 3. Collectively, those results would provide insight for future design and development of next generation rhein derivatives as SRA inhibitors.
