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

Glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta (GSK-3β or GSK-3B) is a serine-threonine kinase involved in various pathways and cellular processes. Alteration in GSK-3β activity is associated with several neurological diseases including Alzheimer's disease (AD), bipolar disorder, and rare diseases like Rett syndrome. GSK-3β is also implicated in HIV-associated dementia (HAD), as it is upregulated in HIV-1-infected cells and plays a role in neuronal dysfunction. Therefore, a small molecule that can inhibit both GSK-3β and HIV-1 reverse transcriptase could offer neuroprotective therapy for patients suffering from HIV-1. Despite this, there are no known GSK-3β inhibitors currently approved, thus prompting us to screen our panel of various antiviral compounds against this kinase to better understand its structure-activity relationship. We show for the first time that the approved drugs, etravirine and rilpivirine, possess GSK-3β activity (IC
