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

Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) is a recently validated therapeutic target for lowering low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). Through phenotypic screening, we previously discovered a class of small-molecules with a 2,3'-diindolymethane (DIM) skeleton that can decrease the expression of PCSK9. But these compounds have low potency and low metabolically stability. After performing structure-activity relationship (SAR) optimization by nitrogen scan, deuterium substitution and fluorine scan, we identified a series of much more potent and metabolically stable PCSK9 modulators. A preliminary in vivo pharmacokinetic study was performed for representative analogues difluorodiindolyketone (DFDIK) 12 and difluorobenzoimidazolylindolylketone (DFBIIK-1) 13. The in vitro metabolic stability correlate well with the in vivo data. The most potent compound 21 has the EC
