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

The three human SNM1 metallo-β-lactamase fold nucleases (SNM1A-C) play key roles in DNA damage repair and in maintaining telomere integrity. Genetic studies indicate that they are attractive targets for cancer treatment and to potentiate chemo- and radiation-therapy. A high-throughput screen for SNM1A inhibitors identified diverse pharmacophores, some of which were shown by crystallography to coordinate to the di-metal ion centre at the SNM1A active site. Structure and turnover assay-guided optimization enabled the identification of potent quinazoline-hydroxamic acid containing inhibitors, which bind in a manner where the hydroxamic acid displaces the hydrolytic water and the quinazoline ring occupies a substrate nucleobase binding site. Cellular assays reveal that SNM1A inhibitors cause sensitisation to, and defects in the resolution of, cisplatin-induced DNA damage, validating the tractability of MBL fold nucleases as cancer drug targets.
