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

LRRK2 is one of the most promising drug targets for Parkinson's disease. Though type I kinase inhibitors of LRRK2 are under clinical trials, alternative strategies like type II inhibitors are being actively pursued due to the potential undesired effects of type I inhibitors. Currently, a robust method for LRRK2-inhibitor structure determination to guide structure-based drug discovery is lacking, and inhibition mechanisms of available compounds are also unclear. Here we present near-atomic-resolution structures of LRRK2 with type I (LRRK2-IN-1 and GNE-7915) and type II (rebastinib, ponatinib, and GZD-824) inhibitors, uncovering the structural basis of LRRK2 inhibition and conformational plasticity of the kinase domain with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Type I and II inhibitors bind to LRRK2 in active-like and inactive conformations, so LRRK2-inhibitor complexes further reveal general structural features associated with LRRK2 activation. Our study provides atomic details of LRRK2-inhibitor interactions and a framework for understanding LRRK2 activation and for rational drug design.
