In Silico Discovery of 5'-Modified 7-Deoxy-7-ethynyl-4'-thioadenosine as a HASPIN Inhibitor and Its Synergistic Anticancer Effect with the PLK1 Inhibitor.

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
Despite genetic perturbations resulting in embryo lethality for most mitotic kinases, loss of the histone H3 mitotic kinase HASPIN reveals no adverse effect in mice models, establishing HASPIN as a promising target for anticancer therapy. However, developing a HASPIN inhibitor from conventional pharmacophores poses a technical challenge as this atypical kinase shares slight similarities with eukaryotic protein kinases. Chemically modifying a cytotoxic 4'-thioadenosine analogue through high genotoxicity yielded several novel nongenotoxic kinase inhibitors. In silico apporoaches utilizing transcriptomic and chemical similarities with known compounds and KINOMEscan profiles unveiled the HASPIN inhibitor LJ4827. LJ4827's specificity and potency as a HASPIN inhibitor were verified through in vitro kinase assay and X-ray crystallography. HASPIN inhibition by LJ4827 reduced histone H3 phosphorylation and impeded Aurora B recruitment in cancer cell centromeres but not in noncancer cells. Through transcriptome analysis of lung cancer patients, PLK1 was determined as a druggable synergistic partner to complement HASPIN inhibition. Chemical or genetic PLK1 perturbation with LJ4827 effectuated pronounced lung cancer cytotoxicity in vitro and in vivo. Therefore, LJ4827 is a novel anticancer therapeutic for selectively impeding cancer mitosis through potent HASPIN inhibition, and simultaneous HASPIN and PLK1 interference is a promising therapeutic strategy for lung cancer.
