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

The development of protein-protein interaction (PPI) inhibitors has been a successful strategy in drug development. However, the identification of PPI stabilizers has proven much more challenging. Here we report a fragment-based drug screening approach using the regulatory hub-protein 14-3-3 as a platform for identifying PPI stabilizers. A homogenous time-resolved FRET assay was used to monitor stabilization of 14-3-3/peptide binding using the known interaction partner estrogen receptor alpha. Screening of an in-house fragment library identified fragment 2 (VUF15640) as a putative PPI stabilizer capable of cooperatively stabilizing 14-3-3 PPIs in a cooperative fashion with Fusicoccin-A. Mechanistically, fragment 2 appears to enhance 14-3-3 dimerization leading to increased client-protein binding. Functionally, fragment 2 enhanced potency of 14-3-3 in a cell-free system inhibiting the enzyme activity of the nitrate reductase. In conclusion, we identified a general PPI stabilizer targeting 14-3-3, which could be used as a tool compound for investigating 14-3-3 client protein interactions.
