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

2'-Deoxynucleoside-5'-triphosphate triphosphohydrolases (dNTPases) constitute a crucial enzyme family that plays a pivotal role in antiviral innate immunity. Among these enzymes, human SAMHD1 has emerged as a dNTPase with distinct catalytic properties and active-site architecture. This metalloenzyme regulates cellular dNTP concentration through its ability to hydrolyze all four canonical dNTPs into their corresponding 2'-deoxynucleosides and inorganic triphosphates, a reaction requiring coordinated iron and magnesium ions for enzymatic activity. In the present work, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) calculations are employed to investigate the mechanistic details of dATP hydrolysis mediated by two metal ions. Starting from the resolved crystal structure, Model-1, containing a Fe
