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

Nonselective histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors show dose-limiting side effects due to the inhibition of multiple, essential HDAC subtypes that can be limited or prevented by restricting their selectivity. We herein report the crystal structures of zebrafish HDAC6 catalytic domain 2 (zHDAC6-CD2) in complex with the selective HDAC6 inhibitors ITF3756 and ITF3985 and shed light on the role of fluorination in the selectivity of benzohydroxamate-based structures over class I isoforms. The reason for the enhancement in the selectivity of the benzohydroxamate-based compounds is the presence of specific interactions between the fluorinated linker and the key residues Gly582, Ser531, and His614 of zHDAC6, which are hindered in class I HDAC isoforms by the presence of an Aspartate that replaces Ser531. These results can be used in the design and development of novel, highly selective HDAC6 inhibitors.
