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

MDA-9/Syntenin, a key scaffolding protein and a molecular hub involved in a diverse range of cell signaling responses, has proved to be a challenging target for the design and discovery of small molecule probes. In this paper, we report on the design and synthesis of small molecule ligands of this key protein. Genetic algorithm-based computational design and the five-eight step synthesis of three molecules led to ligands with affinities in the range of 1-3 µM, a 20-60-fold improvement over literature reports. The design and synthesis strategies, coupled with the structure-dependent gain or loss in affinity, afford the deduction of principles that should guide the design of advanced probes of MDA-9/Syntenin.
