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 development of selective histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) and thus the identification of suitable chemical probes is still highly complex. Moreover, in the past, the results of oversimplified biochemical HDAC assays have often been overinterpreted. This has led to the extensive use of various supposedly isoform-selective HDACi as chemical probes to investigate the biological function of specific HDAC isoforms and classes. Considering more recent insights concerning the structure, binding kinetics, as well as substrate specificity of several HDAC isoforms, at least some of these studies should be reevaluated thoroughly. In this review, we present a selection of possible tool compounds for use in biological and pharmacological studies to investigate the biological function of specific HDAC isoforms or classes and comprehensively discuss their limitations based on the currently available data.
