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

backgroundColorectal cancer (CRC), the world's third leading cause of death, can be caused by a variety of reasons, one of which is a valine-to-glutamate mutation at position 600 in the BRAF gene. Nonetheless, the prognosis of patients with BRAF mutations remains poor, necessitating additional research in this field.

objectiveThis work aims to recognize and validate innovative and effective BRAF inhibitor.

methodsA merged-featured ligand-based pharmacophore model was validated and screened against various external databases. The pharmacokinetic and toxicological characteristics of the 102 hits were analyzed, and the appropriate ligands were docked against BRAF protein. The top four protein-ligand complexes with the lowest binding energies were chosen, and their Molecular Dynamic (MD) simulation studies were accomplished.

resultsThe finest complex selected has a Root Mean Square Deviation (RMSD) value of 2.229A

conclusionThis work thus proposes 3-(6,7-dimethoxy-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline-2-carbonyl)-N- (2-methoxyphenyl)benzenesulphonamide as a potential BRAF V600E inhibitor for the CRC treatment.
