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 L-type amino acid transporter LAT1, involved in many biological processes including the overexpression of some tumors, is considered a potential pharmacological target. The 1,2,3-Dithiazole scaffold was predicted to inhibit LAT1 by the formation of an intermolecular disulfide bond with the thiolate group of cysteine(s). As a result of the identification of these irreversible covalent inhibitors, we decided to deeply investigate the recognition stage and the covalent interaction, characterizing the chemical structures of the selected ligands. With the aim to provide new insights into the access of the ligands to the binding pocket and to reveal the residues involved in the inhibition, we performed docking, molecular dynamics simulations, and density functional theory-based investigation of three 1,2,3-dithiazoles against LAT1. Our computational analysis further highlighted the crucial role played by water molecules in the inhibition mechanism. The results here presented are consistent with experimental observations and provide insights that can be helpful for the rational design of new-to-come LAT1's inhibitors.
