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

As regulators of steroidogenesis, development, and metabolism, the nuclear receptor 5A (NR5A) subfamily members steroidogenic factor 1 (SF-1) and liver receptor homologue 1 (LRH-1) are important pharmacological targets for cancers and metabolic diseases. Evaluation of small molecule modulators and candidate endogenous ligands for these orphan receptors has been hindered by the lack of accessible, robust direct-binding assays. Here, we leverage the potency of our new NR5A agonist (6N) to create a high-affinity probe for fluorescence polarization competition assays by conjugating 6N to fluorescein (FAM). The 6N-FAM probe tightly binds the NR5A receptors and detects direct binding of synthetic and phospholipid ligands. For 25 LRH-1 agonists, affinity predicts potency in cellular activation assays, demonstrating the potential for this assay in drug discovery. Moreover, phospholipids dilauroylphosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylinositol(4,5)phosphate bind with high affinity, demonstrating this assay is robust for evaluation of candidate endogenous ligands for human NR5A receptors.
