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

The ligand-activated transcription factors of the NR4A family are implicated as promising drug targets with neuroprotective and anticancer potential and attract strong attention in drug discovery. Several NR4A modulators have been described, but a validated set of direct ligands for biological studies is lacking. Here, we profiled the reported and commercially available agonists and inverse agonists under uniform conditions in several orthogonal test systems to establish a highly annotated tool and gain comprehensive insights into the NR4A modulator characteristics. This comparative profiling revealed a lack of on-target binding and modulation for several putative NR4A ligands and validated a set of chemically diverse compounds as direct NR4A modulators for chemogenomics-based target identification studies. Prospective applications unveiled roles of NR4A receptors in endoplasmic reticulum stress and adipocyte differentiation, demonstrating suitability of the set to link the orphan targets with phenotypic effects.
