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

In drug repurposing approaches, the chemically diverse and potentially safe molecules can be explored as therapeutic potential beyond those originally targeted indications. However, accessible information on a limited number of drug pipelines can lead to competitive over-heating issues, and intellectual property rights also restrict the free investigation in chemical space. As a complementary approach to the drawbacks, ring systems of approved drugs (instead of clinical drugs) can be optimized and used for repurposing purposes. In this study, bi-directional target (T) and ring system (R) dual screening (TR screening) was developed for the repurposing of their rarely used ring systems from FDA approved drugs. The TR screening suggested RAR β and cyproheptadine as the best pair of target and ring system to escape a saddle point. The selected ring system was virtually grown and elaborated with the defined criteria: synthesizability, drug-likeness, and docking pose showing the top scores. The achieved compounds were synthesized and biologically tested with an acceptable ADME/T profile.
