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

Purpose: Dual inhibition of ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) and histone deacetylase 2 (HDAC2) may be a potential strategy to improve antitumor efficacy in testicular cancer. Methods: A combined virtual screening protocol including pharmacophore modeling and molecular docking was used for screening potent dual-target ATM/HDAC2 inhibitors. In order to obtain the optimal lead compound, the dual ATM/HDAC2 inhibitory activity of the screened compounds was further evaluated using enzyme inhibition methods. The binding stability of the optimal compound to the dual targets was verified by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. MTT assay and in vivo antitumor experiment were performed to validate antitumor efficacy of the optimal compound in testicular cancer. Results: Here, we successfully discovered six potent dual-target ATM/HDAC2 inhibitors (AMHs 1-6), which exhibited good inhibitory activity against both ATM and HDAC2. Among them, AMH-4 showed strong inhibitory activity against both ATM (IC Conclusion: Overall, these results suggest that AMH-4 is an effective and low toxicity candidate for the treatment of testicular germ cell tumors.
