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

Chemical probes are of central relevance for chemical biology. To unambiguously explore the role of target proteins in triggering or mediating biological functions, small molecules used as probes should ideally be target-specific; at least, they should have sufficiently high selectivity for a primary target. We present a thorough analysis of currently available activity data for designated chemical probes to address several key questions: How well defined are chemical probes? What is their level of selectivity? Is there evidence for additional activities? Are some probes "better" than others? Therefore, highly curated chemical probes were collected and their selectivity was analyzed on the basis of publicly available compound activity data. Different selectivity patterns were observed, which distinguished designated high-quality probes.
