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

Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR-2) is one of the regulatory elements of angiogenesis that is expressed highly in various diseases and is also essential for solid tumor growth. The present study was aimed at identifying potent inhibitors of VEGFR-2 by considering herbal secondary metabolites; as natural molecules are less toxic than synthetic derivatives. A structure-based virtual screening protocol consisting of molecular docking, MM-GBSA and ADME/T analysis was initially used to screen a library of in vivo metabolites of the herbal ingredient. Using a fixed cutoff value, four potent virtual hits were identified from molecular docking, ADME/T and binding affinity calculations, which were considered further for molecular dynamics (MD) simulation to broadly describe the binding mechanisms to VEGFR-2. The results suggested that these molecules have high affinity for the catalytic region of VEGFR-2, and form strong hydrophobic and polar interactions with the amino acids involved in the binding site of ATP and linker regions of the catalytic site. Subsequently, the stability of the docked complexes and binding mechanisms were evaluated by MD simulations, and the energy of binding was calculated through MM-PBSA analysis. The results uncovered two virtual hits, designated ZINC14762520 and ZINC36470466, as VEGFR-2 inhibitors, and suggested that they bind to kinase domain in an ATP-competitive manner. These virtual hits will offer a suitable starting point for the further design of their various analogs, allowing a rational search for more effective inhibitors in the future. Graphical abstract.
