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

Collagen prolyl 4-hydroxylase (C-P4H) is an essential enzyme in collagen synthesis and known to be a potential target for drugs that prevent excess collagen formation. Currently known C-P4H inhibitors target the catalytic site of C-P4H, being analogues of 2-oxoglutarate (2OG). However, in mammalian cells there are many other 2OG-dependent dioxygenases with a highly similar catalytic domain, which limits the selective specificity of drugs targeting C-P4H activity. The peptide-substrate-binding (PSB) domain is unique for the C-P4H family and known to be important for the catalytic efficiency of C-P4H. Therefore, interfering with peptide binding to the PSB domain might allow more specific inhibition of the hydroxylation activity of C-P4Hs. We developed a robust FRET-based high-throughput screening assay (Z' > 0.73) based on PSB-peptide interactions. This assay was used to screen a peptidomimetic library of 15614 compounds with the PSB domains of C-P4H isoforms I and II. A hit compound (OUL-PSBi-001) was identified with IC
