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

Transcriptional enhanced associate domain (TEAD) transcription factors together with coactivators and corepressors modulate the expression of genes that regulate fundamental processes, such as organogenesis and cell growth, and elevated TEAD activity is associated with tumorigenesis. Hence, novel modulators of TEAD and methods for their identification are in high demand. We describe the development of a new "thiol conjugation assay" for identification of novel small molecules that bind to the TEAD central pocket. The assay monitors prevention of covalent binding of a fluorescence turn-on probe to a cysteine in the central pocket by small molecules. Screening of a collection of compounds revealed kojic acid analogues as TEAD inhibitors, which covalently target the cysteine in the central pocket, block the interaction with coactivator yes-associated protein with nanomolar apparent IC
