Inhibition of HIV-1 Protease by a Boronic Acid with High Oxidative Stability.
Article in ACS medicinal chemistry letters, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
HIV-1 protease is an important target for pharmaceutical intervention in HIV infection. Extensive structure-based drug design led to darunavir becoming a key chemotherapeutic agent. We replaced the aniline group of darunavir with a benzoxaborolone to form BOL-darunavir. This analogue has the same potency as darunavir as an inhibitor of catalysis by wild-type HIV-1 protease and, unlike darunavir, does not lose potency as an inhibitor of the common D30N variant. Moreover, BOL-darunavir is much more stable to oxidation than is a simple phenylboronic acid analogue of darunavir. X-ray crystallography revealed an extensive network of hydrogen bonds between the enzyme and benzoxaborolone moiety, including a novel direct hydrogen bond from a main-chain nitrogen to the carbonyl oxygen of the benzoxaborolone moiety that displaces a water molecule. These data highlight the utility of benzoxaborolone as a pharmacophore.
