Development of α-GalCer Analogues with an α-Fluorocarbonyl Moiety as Th2-Selective Ligands of CD1d.
Article in ACS medicinal chemistry letters, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
A series of α-GalCer analogues containing an α-fluorocarbonyl moiety at the terminal position of the acyl chain were designed for targeting polar residues in the hydrophobic cavity of CD1d using a structure-based approach. The acyl chain length was efficiently adjusted by an asymmetric alkyne-alkyne cross coupling strategy, and the newly synthesized α-GalCer analogues showed the high Th2-selective activity of iNKT cells. The biased activity of ligands could be caused by the hydrogen-bonding interaction between ligands and CD1d according to the Th2-selective cytokine secretion and molecular docking studies.
