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

Seven different enzymes comprise the galactosyltransferases family, of which β-1,4-galactosyltransferase I (β-1,4-GALT1) is the major contributor to galactosylation activity in cells. Since abnormalities in galactosylation are associated with many pathophysiological conditions, β-1,4-GALT1 is an interesting new target for drug discovery and molecular probe design. There are several known β-1,4-GALT1 inhibitors, but most of them suffer from low cell permeability and thus low in vivo activity. In the present work, we describe an in silico screening performed using commercially available virtual compound libraries that led us to the discovery of novel β-1,4-GALT1 inhibitors. A virtual screening campaign was performed by docking compound libraries to the binding site of β-1,4-GALT1, followed by biological evaluation of selected hits for their β-1,4-GALT1 inhibitory activity.
