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

Nuclear receptors regulate transcription in response to ligand signals and enable the pharmacological control of gene expression. However, many nuclear receptors are still poorly explored and are not accessible to ligand-based target identification studies. In particular, most members of the NR2 family are among the least studied proteins of the class, and apart from the retinoid X receptors (RXR), validated NR2 ligands are very rare. Here, we gathered the NR2 modulators reported in literature for comparative profiling in uniform test systems. Most candidate compounds displayed insufficient on-target activity or selectivity to be used as chemical tools for NR2 receptors underscoring the urgent need for further NR2 ligand development. Nevertheless, a small NR2 modulator set could be assembled for application in a chemogenomic fashion. There are 48 ligand-activated transcription factors in humans forming the superfamily of nuclear receptors (NRs, Figure 1a),
