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

Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality in men, with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) posing significant therapeutic challenges due to drug resistance mediated by the androgen receptor (AR) signaling pathway. Indolethylamine-N-methyltransferase (INMT), a tumor-suppressive enzyme downregulated in CRPC, regulates pathways associated with apoptosis and proliferation. Leveraging a structure-based drug design strategy, this study aimed to identify novel INMT agonists for CRPC therapy. Virtual screening of the ChemDiv compound library (guided by the INMT crystal structure, PDB ID: 2A14), combined with molecular docking, MM/GBSA binding energy calculations, and molecular dynamics simulations, identified five candidate compounds. Among these, DMPP-4M stably bound to an allosteric site adjacent to the catalytic domain of INMT via hydrogen bonds, π-cation interactions, and hydrophobic forces.
