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 cAMP-responsive element binding protein (CREB) binding protein (CBP), a bromodomain-containing protein, engages with multiple transcription factors and enhances the activation of many genes. CBP bromodomain acts as an epigenetic reader and plays an important role in the CBP-chromatin interaction which makes it an important drug target for treating many diseases. Though inhibiting CBP bromodomain was reported to have great potential in cancer therapeutics, approved CBP bromodomain inhibitor is yet to come. We utilized various in silico approaches like molecular docking, ADMET, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, MM-PBSA calculations, and in silico PASS predictions to identify potential CBP bromodomain inhibitors from marine natural compounds as they have been identified as having distinctive chemical structures and greater anticancer activities. To develop a marine natural compound library for this investigation, Lipinski's rule of five was used. Sequential investigations utilizing molecular docking, ADMET studies, 100 ns MD simulations, and MM-PBSA calculations revealed that three marine compounds-ascididemin, neoamphimedine, and stelletin A-demonstrated superior binding affinity compared to the standard inhibitor, 69 A. These compounds also exhibited suitable drug-like properties, a favorable safety profile, and formed stable protein-ligand complexes. The in-silico PASS tool predicted that these compounds have significant potential for anticancer activity. Among them, ascididemin demonstrated the highest binding affinity in both molecular docking and MM-PBSA calculations, as well as a better stability profile in MD simulations. Hence, ascididemin can be a potential inhibitor of CBP bromodomain. However, in vitro and in vivo validation is required for further confirmation of these findings.
