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

MNK-2 and PIM-2 kinases play an indispensable role in cell proliferation signaling pathways linked to tyrosine kinase inhibitors resistance. In this study, pharmacophore modeling studies have been conducted on the co-crystalized ligands of MNK-2 and PIM-2 enzyme crystal structures to determine the essential features required for the identification of potential dual inhibitors. The obtained pharmacophore features were then screened against a library of 270,540 natural products from the ZINC database. The matched natural molecules were docked into the binding sites of MNK-2 and PIM-2 enzymes. The compounds with high docking scores with the two enzymes were further subjected to MM-GBSA calculations and ADME prediction. This led to the identification of compound 1 (ZINC000085569211), compound 2 (ZINC000085569178), and compound 3 (ZINC000085569190), with better docking scores compared to the reference co-crystallized ligands of MNK-2 and PIM-2. Moreover, compounds 1‒3 displayed better MM-GBSA binding free energies compared to the reference ligands. Finally, molecular dynamics (MD) study was used to assess the interaction stability of the compounds with MNK-2. To this end, compounds 1 and 3 bound strongly to the target during the whole period of MD simulation. The findings of the current study may further help the researchers in the discovery of novel molecules against MNK-2 and PIM-2.
