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 role of LOXL2 in cancer has been widely demonstrated, but current therapies targeting LOXL2 are not yet fully developed. We believe that selective nature-derived inhibition of LOXL2 may provide a better therapeutic approach for the treatment of cancer. Therefore, we adopted a comprehensive approach combining deep learning and traditional computer-aided drug design methods to screen LOXL2 selective inhibitors. Bioactivity and affinity of the potential LOXL2 inhibitors were determined by molecular docking and virtual screening. At the same time, we experimentally tested the effect of potential LOXL2 inhibitors on cancer cells. Validation showed that it could inhibit proliferation and migration, promote apoptosis of CT26 cells, and reduce the expression level of LOXL2 protein. As a result, we identified a potent LOXL2 inhibitor: the natural product Forsythoside A, and demonstrated that Forsythoside A has an inhibitory effect on tumors.
