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 PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway is crucial in regulating key processes in mammalian cells, and impairments of this pathway are associated with cell survival in several cancer types. PI3Kα is the second most mutated oncogenic protein, and its overactivation initiates a secondary signaling cascade that enhances, among others, the activity of mTOR complexes 1 and 2. Despite the importance of this pathway, there is a gap in identifying dual inhibitors targeting both PI3Kα and mTOR, which could potentially overcome the limitations of single-target therapies. In this study, advanced computational tools were employed to identify plant-derived compounds with selective or dual inhibitory potentials against PI3Kα and mTOR enzymes. Compounds were obtained from the NuBBe database, a catalogue of Brazilian natural compounds. Among the 1745 compounds docked against the PI3Kα and mTOR enzymes, four bioflavonoids (2-5) displaying atropisomerism stood out. These compounds were further investigated for their binding profile into the catalytic sites of PI3Kα and mTOR, considering the influence of their sense of chirality (
