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 discovery of natural drug metabolites is a leading contributor to fulfilling the sustainable development goal of finding solutions to global health challenges. Depsidones are a class of polyketides that have been separated from lichens, fungi, sponges, and plants and possess various bioactivities, including cytotoxic, antimicrobial, antimalarial, antituberculosis, acetylcholinesterase and α-glucosidase inhibition, and anti-inflammatory effects. Endocannabinoid receptors (CB1 and CB2) are G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), and their activation mediates many physiological processes. CB1 is the dominant subtype in the central nervous system, while CB2 is mainly expressed in the immune system. The two receptors exhibit high heterogeneity, making developing selective ligands a great challenge. Attempts to develop CB2 selective agonists for treating inflammatory diseases and neuropathic pain have not been successful due to the high homology of the binding sites of the CB receptors. In this work, 235 depsidones from various sources were investigated for the possibility of identifying CB2-selective agonists by performing multiple docking studies, including induced fit docking and Prime/molecular mechanics-generalized Born surface area (MM-GBSA) calculations to predict the binding mode and free energy.
