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

Despite great progress, the current cancer treatments often have obvious toxicity and side effects. and a poor prognosis (some patients). One of the reasons for the poor prognosis is that certain enzymes prevent anticancer drugs from killing tumor cells. AKT1 is involved in regulating PI3K/AKT/mTOR, a tumor-generating pathway. Ipatasertib, a highly selective inhibitor of AKT1, is widely used in the treatment of tumors. In this study, many structural and biochemical methodswere used to find better AKT1(Threonine Kinase 1) inhibitors, which laid a foundation for the further development of AKT1 inhibitors and provided new drugs for the treatment of tumors. ZINC15 database and Discovery Studio 4.5, a computer-aided drug screening software with many modules (LibDock for virtual screening, ADME (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion) and TOPKAT (toxicity prediction module) for the toxicity and properties analysis, and MD simulation for stability prediction), were employed. CCK8 assay, ELISA assay genicity and higher tolerance to cytochrome P4502D6. MD simulations indicated they could bind with AKT1 stably in the natural environment. The cell experiment and specific assay for AKT1 inhibition showed they could inhibit the proliferation and AKT1 expression of MG63 cells (Osteosarcoma cells). Moreover, these novel compounds with structural modifications can be potential contributors that lead to further rational drug design for targeting AKT1.
