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

Soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) is a type of lyase enzyme with profoundly increasing importance in treatments of cardiovascular and neurodegenerative disorders. Modulation of sGC activity demonstrated beneficial effects against Parkinson's disease by reducing glutamate excitotoxicity. It is of interest to evaluate the pharmacological activity of Momordica charantia phytoconstituent (DGalacturonic acid) and ODQ with catalytic domain of sGC enzyme, using Autodock version 4.2 programs. Docking results revealed the binding ability of ODQ at the allosteric sites of sGC. D-galacturonic acid also shows binding interaction at the same allosteric sites in the catalytic domain of sGC like ODQ. Results show that both the ligands have efficient binding to THR 474 amino acid residue of beta 1 subunit of the enzyme. The drug likeliness score further implies the suitability of D-Galacturonic acid as a drug-like molecule. The binding property of ODQ and D-Galacturonic acid with the catalytic domain help to inhibit sGC activity having pharmacological effects. Moreover, ODQ interaction with heme site of sGC is already known while its interaction with the catalytic domain is shown in this report.
