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 presence of an unpaired electron in paramagnetic molecules generates significant effects in NMR spectra, which can be exploited to provide restraints complementary to those used in standard structure-calculation protocols. NMR already occupies a central position in drug discovery for its use in fragment screening, structural biology and validation of ligand-target interactions. Paramagnetic restraints provide unique opportunities, for example, for more sensitive screening to identify weaker-binding fragments. A key application of paramagnetic NMR in drug discovery, however, is to provide new structural restraints in cases where crystallography proves intractable. This is particularly important at early stages in drug-discovery programs where crystal structures of weakly-binding fragments are difficult to obtain and crystallization artefacts are probable, but structural information about ligand poses is crucial to guide medicinal chemistry. Numerous applications show the value of paramagnetic restraints to filter computational docking poses and to generate interaction models. Paramagnetic relaxation enhancements (PREs) generate a distance-dependent effect, while pseudo-contact shift (PCS) restraints provide both distance and angular information. Here, we review strategies for introducing paramagnetic centers and discuss examples that illustrate the utility of paramagnetic restraints in drug discovery. Combined with standard approaches, such as chemical shift perturbation and NOE-derived distance information, paramagnetic NMR promises a valuable source of information for many challenging drug-discovery programs.
