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 cross-reactivity of substrates, modulators with other enzymes significantly reduces/prevents our ability to design such highly specific, that is, "one warhead-one target", modulators. On the other hand, the potential "impasse" fuels repurposing of already developed drugs. Additionally, expanding our understanding that there will be "off-target" effects for enzymes of different evolutionary kingdoms propels the development of covalent reversible drugs. In this review/perspective, we examine these challenges and opportunities based on covalent drugs used/developed for targeting bacterial and mammalian enzymes, and our evolving understanding of the blurred difference between these enzymes in these "vastly" separated organisms by biological evolution.
