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

Kinase inhibitors are promising drugs to stabilize the endothelial barrier following inflammatory damage. However, our limited knowledge of how kinase signaling activates barrier-restorative pathways and the complexity of multi-target drugs have hindered drug discovery and repurposing efforts. Here, we apply a kinase regression approach that exploits drug polypharmacology to investigate endothelial barrier regulation. A screen of 28 kinase inhibitors identified multiple inhibitors that promote endothelial barrier integrity and revealed divergent barrier phenotypes for BCR-ABL drugs. Target deconvolution predicted 50 barrier-regulating kinases from diverse kinase families. Using gene knockdowns, we identified kinases with a role in endothelial barrier regulation and dissected different mechanisms of action of barrier-protective kinase inhibitors. These results demonstrate the importance of polypharmacology in the endothelial barrier phenotype of kinase inhibitors and provide promising new leads for barrier-strengthening therapies.
