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

Optimal therapeutic strategies for liver cancer patients remain challenging due to the high recurrence rate after surgical resection and chemotherapy resistance. Emerging evidence has shown that epigenetic factor SIRT7 is involved in various aspects of cancer biology, while inactive SIRT7 reverses human cancer phenotype and suppresses tumor growth. In the present study, we predicted the SIRT7 structure by using the fold recognition (or threading) method and performed structure-based virtual screening to develop specific SIRT7 inhibitor by docking 939319 structurally diverse compounds with SIRT proteins. Compounds with high affinities to SIRT7 but low affinities to other SIRT proteins were chosen as candidates of specific SIRT7 inhibitor. Our leading compounds 2800Z and 40569Z showed strong interaction with SIRT7 protein, and specifically inhibited SIRT7 deacetylation activity
