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

Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) play diverse and critical roles in normal cells and may be exploited as targets in cancer therapeutic strategies. CDK4 inhibitors are currently approved for treatment in advanced breast cancer. This success has led to continued pursuit of targeting other CDKs. One challenge has been in the development of inhibitors that are highly selective for individual CDKs as the ATP-binding site is highly conserved across this family of proteins. Protein-protein interactions (PPI) tend to have less conservation amongst different proteins, even within protein families, making targeting PPI an attractive approach to improving drug selectivity. However, PPI can be challenging to target due to structural and physicochemical features of these interactions. A review of the literature specific to studies focused on targeting PPI involving CDKs 2, 4, 5, and 9 was conducted and is presented here. Promising lead molecules to target select CDKs have been discovered. None of the lead molecules discovered have led to FDA approval; however, the studies covered in this review lay the foundation for further discovery and develop of PPI inhibitors for CDKs.
