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

The dual-target inhibitor strategy is an evolving approach that holds great potential for treating complex diseases by addressing their multifactorial nature. It can enhance therapeutic outcomes, reduce side effects and avoid the emergence of drug resistance, particularly in conditions like cancer, inflammation and neurological disorders, where multiple pathways contribute to disease progression. Identifying suitable targets for a dual inhibitor approach requires a deep understanding of disease biology, knowledge of critical pathways, and selection of complementary or synergistic targets. Human carbonic anhydrases (hCAs) have been recognized as suitable drug targets for this therapeutic approach. These enzymes play a key role in maintaining pH balance, ion transport, and fluid regulation across various tissues and organs and their dysregulation has been associated to a variety of human pathologies. Consequently, the inhibition of hCAs combined to the possibility to modulate the activity of a second molecular target represents a promising way for developing more effective drugs. In this mini-review, we aim to present an overview of the most significant structural results related to the development of novel therapeutics employing hCA inhibitors as dual-targeting compounds for the treatment of complex diseases.
