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

Inositol hexakisphosphate kinases (IP6Ks) catalyze pyrophosphorylation of inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6) into inositol 5-diphospho-1,2,3,4,6-pentakisphosphate (IP7), which is involved in numerous areas of cell physiology including glucose homeostasis, blood coagulation, and neurological development. Inhibition of IP6Ks may be effective for the treatment of Type II diabetes, obesity, metabolic complications, thrombosis, and psychiatric disorders. We performed a high-throughput screen (HTS) of 158 410 compounds for IP6K1 inhibitors using a previously developed ADP-Glo Max assay. Of these, 1206 compounds were found to inhibit IP6K1 kinase activity by more than 25%, representing a 0.8% hit rate. Structural clustering analysis of HTS-active compounds, which were confirmed in the dose-response testing using the same kinase assay, revealed diverse clusters that were feasible for future structure-activity relationship (SAR) optimization to potent IP6K inhibitors. Medicinal chemistry SAR efforts in three chemical series identified potent IP6K1 inhibitors which were further validated in an orthogonal LC-MS IP7 analysis. The effects of IP6K1 inhibitors on cellular IP7 levels were further confirmed and were found to correlate with cellular IP6K1 binding measured by a high-throughput cellular thermal shift assay (CETSA).
