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

Bisphenol A (BPA) and bisphenol B (BPB) are widely used in the production of plastics, and their potential adverse health effects, particularly on endocrine disruption and metabolic health, have raised concern. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) plays a pivotal role in metabolic regulation and adipogenesis, making it a target of interest in understanding the development of obesity and associated health impacts. In this study, we employ X-ray crystallography and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to study the interaction of PPARγ with BPA and BPB. Crystallographic structures reveal the binding of BPA and BPB to the ligand binding domain of PPARγ, next to C285, where binding of partial agonists as well as antagonists and inverse agonists of PPARγ signaling has been previously observed. However, no interaction of BPA and BPB with Y437 in the activation function 2 site is observed, showing that these ligands cannot stabilize the active conformation of helix 12 directly. Furthermore, free energy analyses of the MD simulations revealed that I341 has a large energetic contribution to the BPA and BPB binding modes characterized in this study.
