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

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most common malignancy amongst men worldwide. Under PCa maintenance therapy drugs acting as antagonists/partial agonists of hormone receptors against the prostate tissue are used in clinical practices. Prominent drugs being Cyproterone acetate, Flutamide, Bicalutamide, they not only cause acute and long-term toxicity, but also develops drug resistance among patients. Our focus has been on phytochemicals which do not exhibit any cytotoxicity and have significant androgen receptor (AR) inhibition activity. As Protein- Ligand interactions play a key role in structure based drug design, so by using molecular docking, we screened 803 phytochemicals and investigated their binding affinity against AR. The three dimensional (3D) structure of AR was retrieved from Protein Data Bank, and docked with 3D Pubchem structures of 803 phytochemicals using Argus Lab. Molecular docking and drug likeness studies were made using ADMET properties while Lipinski's rule of five was performed for the phytochemicals to evaluate their anti-prostate cancer activity. The results showed that Isobavachin exhibited best binding affinity of -13.73 kcal/mol with AR followed by Glabranin, Anthocyanin and Eriosemation. Our studies therefore reveal that these four phytochemicals could be promising candidates for further evaluation for PCa prevention or management.
