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 liver receptor homolog-1 (LRH-1, NR5A2), a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily, has emerged as a promising drug target for the treatment of diabetes, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, inflammatory bowel disease, and cancers. However, the discovery of LRH-1 modulators remains a challenge since the large and hydrophobic ligand binding pocket of LRH-1 has been difficult to target. This Viewpoint discusses the recent discovery, published in this journal, that the first low nanomolar LRH-1 agonist was identified through structure-guided design. The agonist binds deep inside the LRH-1 ligand binding pocket by a novel mechanism of action.
