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 casein kinase 1γ (CK1γ) subfamily, while severely understudied, is implicated in diverse disease-relevant pathways, including WNT signaling and human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) replication. While genetic tools exist to study CK1γ, the selective inhibition of CK1γ through pharmacological means remains underexplored. Chemical probes, or potent and selective inhibitors, remain one of the most powerful pharmacological tools for uncovering protein biology. Herein, we developed several novel assays for assessing target engagement with the CK1γ subfamily in cells. Enabled by these assays, we conducted a comprehensive structure-activity relationship (SAR) campaign to develop the first chemical probe, SGC-CK1γ-1, for the CK1γ subfamily. SGC-CK1γ-1, which was developed alongside a structurally related negative control compound, potently and selectively inhibited the CK1γ kinases in living cells, plus inhibited both WNT signaling and human cytomegalovirus replication.
