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

Introduction: The son of sevenless (SOS) proteins are rat sarcoma virus nucleotide exchange factors that act as regulatory switches of the rat sarcoma virus (RAS) system through the conversion of the inactive guanosine diphosphate (GDP) bound RAS to the GTP-bound active form, thereby modulating numerous biological events. SOSs contribute in disease incidence and progression in numerous cancers. Currently, SOSs inhibiting strategies deemed a substantial interest in the fight against cancer. Materials and methods: To date, there are various SOS1 inhibitors in the clinical trials, however there are no reported SOS2 inhibitors so far. In this study, we explored the Enamine fragments library against SOS2 through the multidisciplinary computational analysis. Pharmacophore modelling based on the previously published SOS2 inhibitory fragments has shed light on the influential pharmacophoric features. Subsequently, molecular docking and molecular mechanics/generalized born surface area (MM-GBSA) calculations rescored these findings, while molecular dynamics (MD) simulation examined the durability of SOS2-ligand intersections. Results: As a result, three Enamine fragments (Z284596, Z501753, and Z481369) postulated superior docking scores and binding free energies than the crystalized reference bound to SOS2 protein. Conclusion: Furthermore, they postulated a reasonable MD profile. Overall, this study suggested three potential hit fragments with SOS2 inhibitory activity and can be experimentally verified.
