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

Microtubules composed of α/β tubulin heterodimers are an essential part of the cytoskeleton of eukaryotic cells and are widely regarded as targets for cancer chemotherapy. IC261, which is discovered as an ATP-competitive inhibitor of serine/threonine-specific casein kinase 1 (CK1), has shown its inhibitory activity on microtubule polymerization in recent studies. However, the structural information of the interaction between tubulin and IC261 is still unclear. Here, we provided a high-resolution (2.85 Å) crystal structure of tubulin and IC261 complex, revealed the intermolecular interaction between tubulin and IC261, and analyzed the structure-activity relationship (SAR). Subsequently, the structure of tubulin-IC261 complex was compared with tubulin-colchicine complex to further elucidate the novelty of IC261. Furthermore, eight optimal candidate compounds of new IC261-based microtubule inhibitors were obtained through molecular docking studies. In conclusion, the co-crystal structure of tubulin-IC261 complex paves a way for the design and development of microtubule inhibitor drugs.
