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

Microtubule associated serine/threonine kinase (MASTL) is an important Ser/Thr kinase belonging to the family of AGC kinases. It is the human orthologue of Greatwall kinase (Gwl) that plays a significant role in mitotic progression and cell cycle regulation. Upregulation of MASTL in various cancers and its association with poor patient survival establishes it as an important drug target in cancer therapy. Nevertheless, the target remains unexplored with the paucity of studies focused on identification of inhibitors against MASTL, which emphasizes the relevance of our present study. We explored various drug databases and performed virtual screening of compounds from both natural and synthetic sources. A list of promising compounds displaying high binding characteristics towards MASTL protein is reported. Among the natural compounds, we found a 6-hydroxynaphthalene derivative ZINC85597499 to display best binding energy value of -9.32 kcal/mol. While among synthetic compounds, a thieno-pyrimidinone based tricyclic derivative ZINC53845290 compound exhibited best binding affinity of value -7.85 kcal/mol. MASTL interactions with these two compounds were further explored using molecular dynamics simulations. Altogether, this study identifies potential inhibitors of human Gwl kinase from both natural and synthetic origin and calls for studying these compounds as potential drugs for cancer therapy.
