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

BAZ2A is a large multidomain protein overexpressed in aggressive prostate cancer, where it potentiates migration and invasion of other tissues. To counteract its metastasis-promoting role, small molecules interfering with the recognition of acetylated lysines by the BAZ2A bromodomain have been identified. However, unlike other bromodomains, BAZ2A has a shallow pocket, which significantly complicates the development of potent inhibitors. Here, we report the exploration of the acetyl-pyrrole scaffold, leading to the identification of BAZ2A-binding compounds assuming a peculiar, almost enclosed, conformation, as determined by X-ray crystallography. These molecules pose the basis for the development of potent BAZ2A macrocyclic inhibitors, as performed for other bromodomains.
