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

Covalent drugs provide pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic advantages over reversible agents. However, covalent strategies have been developed mostly to target cysteine (Cys) residues, which are rarely found in binding sites. Among other nucleophilic residues that could be in principle used for the design of covalent drugs, histidine (His) has not been given proper attention despite being in principle an attractive residue to pursue but underexplored. Aryl fluorosulfates, a mild electrophile that is very stable in biological media, have been recently identified as possible electrophiles to react with the side chains of Lys; however, limited studies are available on aryl fluorosulfates' ability to target His residues. We demonstrate that proper incorporation of an aryl fluorosulfate juxtaposing the electrophile with a His residue can be used to afford rapid optimizations of His-covalent agents. As an application, we report on His-covalent BH3 mimetics targeting His224 of Mcl-1.
