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

Introduction: Methods: We built an explicit protein-ligand-metal model of MRAY_PSEAE and extracted pocket constraints from point-cloud geometry and polar/charged features. Candidates were generated through similarity-guided library expansion, combining PubChem 2D similarity retrieval with local rule-based BRICS enumeration. After canonicalization and 2D/property filtering, compounds were clustered by fingerprint similarity and prioritized through chemical-state plausibility, docking, Prime/MM-GBSA rescoring, and ligand strain filtering, followed by interaction analysis, 1-μs MD, and Results: Three hits (6675, 2733768, 5311309) were prioritized. In microsecond MD, compound 5311309 showed the most stable pose and key hotspot retention. ADMET indicated a permeability/efflux bottleneck along with liver-kidney and irritation/sensitization alerts, whereas hERG and AMES signals were favorable. In growth assays, compound 5311309 showed an IC50 of approximately 15.1 μM and an MIC of 64 μM. Conclusion: Metal-aware pocket modeling plus multi-level screening improved plausibility and ranking for this metal-dependent target, identifying compound 5311309 as a practical lead optimization starting point.
