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

Covalent enzyme inhibitors are widely applied as biochemical tools and therapeutic agents. As a complement to categorization of these inhibitors by reactive group or modification site, we present a categorization by mechanism, which highlights common advantages and disadvantages inherent to each approach. Established categories for reversible and irreversible covalent inhibition are reviewed with representative examples given for each class, including covalent reversible inhibitors, slow substrates, residue-specific reagents, affinity labels (classical, quiescent, and photoaffinity), and mechanism-based inactivators. The relationships of these categories to proteomic profiling probes (activity-based and reactivity-based) as well as complementary approaches such as prodrug and soft drug design are also discussed. A wide variety of strategies are used to balance reactivity and selectivity in the design of covalent enzyme inhibitors. Use of a shared terminology is encouraged to clearly convey these mechanisms, to relate them to prior use of covalent inhibitors in enzymology, and to facilitate the development of more effective covalent inhibitors.
