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

The catalytic subunits of protein kinase CK2 are classified into two subtypes: CK2α1 and CK2α2. CK2α1 is an attractive drug-discovery target for various diseases such as cancers and nephritis. CK2α2 is defined as an off-target of CK2α1 and is a potential target in the development of male contraceptive drugs. High-resolution crystal structures of both isozymes are likely to provide crucial clues for the design of selective inhibitors of CK2α1 and/or CK2α2. To date, several crystal structures of CK2α1 have been solved at high resolutions of beyond 1.5 Å. However, crystal structures of CK2α2 have barely achieved a low resolution of around 3 Å because of the formation of needle-shaped crystals. In this study, new crystal forms were exploited and one provided a crystal structure of CK2α2 at 1.89 Å resolution. This result, together with the structure of CK2α1, will assist in the development of highly selective inhibitors for both isozymes.
