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

Background: Aim: This study aims to investigate the phytochemical composition, drug-likeness, and molecular dynamics of Method: The extract of Results: Molecular docking identified apigenin as the most potent NMT inhibitor, with a binding energy of -9.6 kcal/mol, forming significant hydrogen bonds with threonine residues 203 and 189. Drug-likeness analysis revealed that most compounds adhered to Lipinski's rule of five, indicating favorable pharmacokinetic properties. MD simulations confirmed the stability of the NMT-apigenin complex, with root mean square deviation (RMSD) values of 0.04 nm, root mean square fluctuation (RMSF) values between 0.05 and 0.35 nm, and radius of gyration (Rg) values ranging from 2.24 to 2.30 nm. Normal mode analysis further supported the complex's stability and flexibility. Conclusion: The findings of this study underscore the potential of Artemisia absinthium compounds, particularly apigenin, as promising candidates for the development of new anti-leishmaniasis drugs. The potent inhibition of Leishmania NMT by apigenin, along with its favorable pharmacokinetic and stability profiles, supports its further exploration in antileishmanial drug development.
