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

Despite the potential of cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9) as a novel target for various malignancies and HIV replication in infected cells, no effective inhibitors have been developed. In the preceding study, we deciphered a hidden cavity in CDK9 upon molecular dynamics (MD) simulation of the CDK9/CyclinT1/Tat trimolecular complex. This cavity is located near the CDK9 ATP pocket (continuous cavity I, CCI) and extends to the cyclin T1 (CycT1) contact surface (CCII and CCIII). In this study, we searched for compounds similar to previously identified CDK9 inhibitors using cheminformatics to identify compounds that are better suited to this hidden cavity. We identified compounds that effectively targeted CCII and CCIII of CDK9. We confirmed their inhibitory effects on the CDK9/CycT1 complex
