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

Using high throughput, high-content imaging, a proprietary library was screened against intracellular Trypanosoma cruzi amastigotes to identify compounds with novel activity against the parasite. Five inhibitors were discovered, which did not clear all of the parasites from 3T3 host cells following 48 hours exposure, and were identified as putative T. cruzi cytochrome P450 (TcCYP51) inhibitors. TcCYP51 inhibitors are not favourable for the drug discovery pipeline for treatment of Chagas Disease infection due to clinical and pre-clinical failures. To determine if there were in vitro inhibitory characteristics of these compounds that could aid the prediction of TcCYP51 inhibition further profiling using imaging and fluorescence based assays was undertaken. It was determined that in vitro profiles, coupled with analysis of chemical structure, could support the early prediction of putative TcCYP51 activity and thus enable early de-prioritisation of these compounds from progression through the drug discovery pipeline.
