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

Direct modulation of cardiac myosin function has emerged as a therapeutic target for both heart disease and heart failure. However, the development of myosin-based therapeutics has been hampered by the lack of targeted in vitro screening assays. In this study we use Artificial Intelligence-based virtual high throughput screening (vHTS) to identify novel small molecule effectors of human β-cardiac myosin. We test the top scoring compounds from vHTS in biochemical counter-screens and identify a novel chemical scaffold called 'F10' as a cardiac-specific low-micromolar myosin inhibitor. Biochemical and biophysical characterization in both isolated proteins and muscle fibers show that F10 stabilizes both the biochemical (i.e. super-relaxed state) and structural (i.e. interacting heads motif) OFF state of cardiac myosin, and reduces force and left ventricular pressure development in isolated myofilaments and Langendorff-perfused hearts, respectively. F10 is a tunable scaffold for the further development of a novel class of myosin modulators.
