Molecular docking analysis of MCL-1 inhibitors for breast cancer management.
Article in Bioinformation, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Myeloid leukemia 1 (MCL-1), a BCL-2 protein family member, acts as an anti-apoptotic protein by interacting with pro-apoptotic BCL-2 proteins. Its overexpression is frequently observed in numerous cancer types including breast cancer, and is closely linked to the initiation and progression of tumors as well as poor prognosis and resistance to therapeutic interventions. Here, a database of 3402 chemicals with established therapeutic activity against various diseases was chosen and systematically screened against the MCL-1 protein. Visual inspection and binding energy analysis revealed that the compounds OSU-03012, Raltitrexed, Ostarine (MK-2866), Dovitinib (TKI-258), and Varespladib (LY315920) had strong binding affinity for the MCL-1 protein. Notably, their binding affinity was higher than that of the control compounds. These compounds exhibited strong interactions with critical amino acid residues of the MCL-1 protein. Furthermore, these compounds shared several common amino acid residue interactions with the control compounds. These findings suggest that these compounds may be useful as MCL-1 inhibitors in the treatment of breast cancer. However, additional experimental validation is required to confirm these findings.
