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

Small-molecule inhibitors of enzymes are widely used tools in reverse chemical genetics to probe biology and explore therapeutic opportunities. They are often compared with genetic knockdown or knockout and are expected to produce phenotypes similar to the genetic perturbations. This review aims to highlight that small molecule inhibitors of enzymes and genetic perturbations may not necessarily produce the same phenotype due to the possibility of substrate-selective or substrate-dependent effects of the inhibitors. Examples of substrate-selective inhibitors and the mechanisms for the substrate-selective effects are discussed. Substrate-selective modulators of enzymes have distinct advantages and cannot be easily replaced with biologics. Thus, they present an exciting opportunity for chemical biologists and medicinal chemists.
