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

Kinetic target-guided synthesis represents an efficient hit-identification strategy, in which the protein assembles its own inhibitors from a pool of complementary building blocks via an irreversible reaction. Herein, we pioneered an in situ Ugi reaction for the identification of novel inhibitors of a model enzyme and binders for an important drug target, namely, the aspartic protease endothiapepsin and the bacterial β-sliding clamp DnaN, respectively. Highly sensitive mass-spectrometry methods enabled monitoring of the protein-templated reaction of four complementary reaction partners, which occurred in a background-free manner for endothiapepsin or with a clear amplification of two binders in the presence of DnaN. The Ugi products we identified show low micromolar activity on endothiapepsin or moderate affinity for the β-sliding clamp. We succeeded in expanding the portfolio of chemical reactions and biological targets and demonstrated the efficiency and sensitivity of this approach, which can find application on any drug target.
