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

Hyperactivation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ-mediated transcription promotes tumor growth in urothelial (bladder) cancer, which can be inhibited by compounds that repress PPARγ activity. FX-909 is a covalent PPARγ inverse agonist in phase 1 clinical trials for advanced solid malignancies, including muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Here, we compared the mechanism of action of FX-909 to other covalent inverse agonists including T0070907, reported more than 20 years ago and misclassified as an antagonist, and two reported improved covalent inverse agonist analogs, SR33068 and BAY-4931. Functional profiling and NMR studies reveal that FX-909 displays improved corepressor-selective inverse agonism and better stabilizes a transcriptionally repressive PPARγ LBD conformation compared to T0070907. The crystal structure of PPARγ LBD cobound to FX-909 and the NCoR1 corepressor peptide reveals a repressive conformation shared by other covalent inverse agonists. These findings build on recent studies highlighting the pharmacological significance and clinical relevance of transcriptionally repressive PPARγ inverse agonists.
