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 sterol 14α demethylase enzyme (CYP51) is an important target of fungal infections. However, the molecular mechanism between triazoles inhibitors and CYP51 remains obscure. In this study, we have investigated the binding mechanism and tunnel characteristic upon four triazoles inhibitors with CYP51 based on the molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations. The results indicate the four inhibitors stabilize in the binding cavity of CYP51 in a similar binding mode. We discover a hydrophobic cavity (F58, Y64, Y118, L121, Y132, L376, S378, S506, S507, and M508) and the hydrophobic interaction is the main driving force for inhibitors binding to CYP51. The long-tailed inhibitors (posaconazole and itraconazole) have stronger binding affinities than short-tailed inhibitors (fluconazole and voriconazole) because long-tailed inhibitors can form more hydrophobic interactions with CYP51. The tunnel 2f is the predominant pathway for inhibitors ingress/egress protein, which is similar to the other works of CYP51. This study could provide the theoretical basis for the development of efficient azoles inhibitors and may lead a better insight into structure-function relationships of CYP51.
