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: The TP53 mutations in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) remain a formidable clinical challenge. Current strategies, using the covalent binder APR-246, are limited by off-target toxicity and resistance. Methods: This study screens 1,580 Results: Hydroxymycotrienin A emerged as the potential candidate, demonstrating thermodynamic superiority with binding affinities of -6.63 kcal/mol (R175H) and -6.57 kcal/mol (R273H), demonstrated significant superior non covalent docking affinity compared to APR-246 parent scaffold (approximately -3.5 kcal/mol) in the mutated p53 protein, suggesting a direct pharmacological chaperone activity. Unlike the covalent alkylating mechanism of APR-246, Hydroxymycotrienin A utilizes a non-covalent network to chaperone the mutant p53. MD simulations revealed that Hydroxymycotrienin A acted as a structural stabilizer for the conformational mutant R175H by suppressing atomic fluctuations within the L2 loop and reducing overall structural deviations. In the contact mutant R273H, the ligand stabilized the DNA-binding interface while maintaining favorable conformational dynamics without introducing steric clashes. Discussion: ADMET profiling predicts high bioavailability and a non-toxic safety profile, characterizing Hydroxymycotrienin A as a promising, bioavailable 'privileged scaffold' that offers a non-covalent therapeutic strategy for NSCLC. By restoring p53 function, this study addresses Sustainable Development Goals Target 3.4 to reduce premature mortality from non-communicable diseases. However, future
