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

The pyrimidine core has been utilized extensively to construct kinase inhibitors, including eight FDA-approved drugs. Because the pyrimidine hinge-binding motif is accommodated by many human kinases, kinome-wide selectivity of resultant molecules can be poor. This liability was seen as an advantage since it is well tolerated by many understudied kinases. We hypothesized that nonexemplified aminopyrimidines bearing side chains from well-annotated pyrimidine-based inhibitors with off-target activity on understudied kinases would provide us with useful inhibitors of these lesser studied kinases. Our strategy paired mixing and matching the side chains from the 2- and 4-positions of the parent compounds with modifications at the 5-position of the pyrimidine core, which is situated near the gatekeeper residue of the binding pocket. Utilizing this approach, we imparted improved kinome-wide selectivity to most members of the resultant library. Importantly, we also identified potent biochemical and cell-active lead compounds for understudied kinases like DRAK1, BMP2K, and MARK3/4.
