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

Mammalian arachidonic acid lipoxygenases (ALOXs) are lipid-peroxidizing enzymes, which have been implicated in inflammatory, hyperproliferative and neurodegenerative diseases. Nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA) is a naturally occurring antioxidant and a potent lipoxygenase inhibitor. Unfortunately, the molecular basis of the NDGA-ALOX interaction remains unexplored. Here, we show by in silico docking studies and by molecular dynamics simulations that NDGA binds in the substrate binding pocket of human ALOX15 and that Gln595 plays a major role in this interaction. In silico mutagenesis studies (Glu595Ala, Glu595Leu, Glu595Glu, Glu595Ile) modified the stability of the ALOX15-NDGA complex and altered the ligand binding behavior of the enzyme. To validate the in silico findings, we expressed human ALOX15 and the enzyme mutants as recombinant proteins, characterized their functional properties and quantified the IC
