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

BACKGROUND AND

aimThe genes ARRB1, FLNA, CALM3, and HTT are commonly expressed in oral cancer and have been hypothesized to be involved in the carcinogenic pathway. The present study investigates the inhibitive properties of alpha mangostin on the above gene using Autodock molecular docking tool. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe structures of the proteins were downloaded from the protein databank with PDB IDs 3HOP, 2F3Z, IZSH and 3IO6F for the genes FLNA, CALM3, ARRB1 and HTT, respectively. Autodock was used for molecular docking of the target proteins with the ligand molecule. Results shows HTT having good inhibition features with the Alpha Mangostin followed by the CALM3, FLNA and finally ARRB1 in the decreasing order. CALM3 gene had the lowest binding energy, which easily bound with the target ligand with greater affinity towards the binding followed by ARRB1, HTT, FLNA in the increasing order of binding energy and decreasing order of binding affinity. CALM3 and HTT were promising targets for anticancer treatment using alpha mangostin. Future exploration of the interaction of alpha mangostin and these genes could delineate the role of alpha mangostin as an anticancer agent.
