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

Bioactive small molecules that form covalent bonds with a target protein are important tools for basic research and can be highly effective drugs. This review highlights reactive groups found in a collection of thiophilic and oxophilic drugs that mediate pharmacological activity through a covalent mechanism of action (MOA). We describe the application of advanced proteomic and bioanalytical methodologies for assessing selectivity of these covalent agents to guide and inspire the search for additional electrophiles suitable for covalent probe and therapeutic development. While the emphasis is on chemistry for modifying catalytic serine, threonine or cysteine residues, we devote a substantial fraction of the review to a collection of exploratory reactive groups of understudied residues on proteins.
