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: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common and aggressive subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, with a substantial proportion of patients developing resistance to standard chemotherapy. Chromosomal translocations resulting in overexpression of the serine/threonine kinase Proviral Integration site for Moloney murine leukemia virus (PIM-1) contribute to disease progression, therapeutic resistance, and poor clinical outcomes, establishing PIM-1 as a promising molecular target. Unlike many kinases, the ATP-binding site of PIM-1 lacks a backbone hydrogen bond donor within the hinge region due to the presence of Pro123, conferring unique structural features relevant for selective inhibitor design. Although R-CHOP is the first-line treatment for DLBCL, approximately 30%-40% of patients develop refractory disease, highlighting the need for novel targeted therapies. Methods: In this study, an in-silico drug repurposing strategy was employed to investigate plerixafor analogues as potential ATP-competitive PIM-1 inhibitors. Quantitative Structure Activity Relationship (QSAR) modeling demonstrated strong predictive performance (R Results: Additional MM/GBSA, Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Dynamic Cross-Correlation Matrix (DCCM), and free energy landscape (FEL) analyses further supported complex stability and restricted conformational dynamics. Discussion: Collectively, these findings identify plerixafor-derived compound 1 as a promising PIM-1 inhibitor and provide a robust computational framework for the development of targeted therapeutics against aggressive DLBCL, warranting further experimental validation.
