Indolactam Dipeptides as Nanomolar Gli Inhibitors.
Article in ACS medicinal chemistry letters, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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 Gli transcription factors within the Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway play essential roles in human development. However, the reactivation of Gli proteins in adult tissue is tumorigenic and drives the progression of several cancers, including the majority of basal cell carcinomas. Here we describe a novel set of indolactam dipeptides that target protein kinase C (PKC), exploiting the unique capacity of PKC isozymes to act as regulators of Gli. We devised an efficient synthetic route for the indolactam-based natural product (-)-pendolmycin and a series of analogues, and we evaluated these analogues in mechanistically distinct Gli reporter assays. The lead compound from these studies,
