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

Elucidating the ecological functions of natural products in plant adaptive mechanisms is an emerging means of discovering lead compounds. Here, we show an undescribed plant glandular trichome-specific defense sesterterpenoid, leucosceptrine F (leu-F), exhibiting potent anti-inflammatory activity by modulating both innate and adaptive immune responses. Leu-F irreversibly binds to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), a cross-kingdom glycolytic enzyme and a promising therapeutic target in autoimmune diseases. Crystal structure of the GAPDH-leu-F complex reveals the formation of a covalent bond between leu-F and the Cys
