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

In the era of data science, data-driven algorithms have emerged as powerful platforms that can consolidate bioisosteric rules for preferential modifications on small molecules with a common molecular scaffold. Here we present complementary data-driven algorithms to minimize the search in chemical space for phenylthiazole-containing molecules that bind the RNA hairpin within the ribosomal peptidyl transferase center (PTC) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Our results indicate visual, geometrical, and chemical features that enhance the binding to the targeted RNA. Functional validation was conducted after synthesizing 10 small molecules pinpointed computationally. Four of the 10 were found to be potent inhibitors that target hairpin 91 in the ribosomal PTC of M. tuberculosis and, as a result, stop translation.
