Discovery of Novel Binders to Sterol Regulatory Element-Binding Protein-1 by High-Throughput Screening.

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
Sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1 (SREBP-1) is a transcription factor that regulates the expression of genes related to fatty acid biosynthesis. Its high expression and activation in obesity and associated metabolic diseases make it a potential therapeutic target. However, the role of SREBP-1 in the development and exacerbation of these diseases remains unclear, partly because of the impossibility of inhibiting its function because of the lack of specific inhibitors. Here, we aimed to identify small-molecule compounds that directly bind to SREBP-1 using the recombinant N-terminal region of SREBP-1a, which is required for its transcriptional activity. A high-throughput screening campaign was conducted using a thermal shift assay and surface plasmon resonance assay to evaluate the compound affinity and specificity, which resulted in the identification of two compounds. Future analysis of their structure-activity relationships may lead to the development of specific SREBP-1 inhibitors, thereby potentially validating SREBP-1 as a therapeutic target for obesity and resultant atherosclerotic diseases.
