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

C-C chemokine receptor type 5 (CCR5) is a member of the G protein-coupled receptor. CCR5 and its interaction with chemokine ligands have been crucial for understanding and tackling human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 entry into target cells. In recent years, the change in CCR5 expression has been related to the progression of different cancer types. Patients treated with the CCR5 ligand, maraviroc (MVC), showed a deceleration in tumor development especially for metastatic colorectal cancer. Based on the crystal structure of CCR5, we herein describe a multistage virtual screening protocol including pharmacophore screening, molecular docking, and protein-ligand interaction fingerprint (PLIF) postdocking filtration for discovery of novel CCR5 ligands. The applied virtual screening protocol led to the identification of four hits with binding modes showing access to the major and minor pockets of the MVC binding site. Compounds
