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

The interaction between the transcription factor c-Myb and the CBP/p300 KIX domain is a critical regulatory node in hematopoietic gene expression and an attractive target in MYB-dependent leukemia. Herein, we aimed to identify new small-molecule disruptors of the c-Myb-CBP/p300 KIX protein-protein interaction using integrated in silico and experimental workflow. A focused library of 1143 biaryl hydroxy-naphthamides (naphthanilides) was subjected virtual screening filters yielding five prioritized candidates (C1-C5). Docking showed that all selected compounds occupied the c-Myb-facing groove of the KIX domain and reproduced key interfacial contacts. Subsequent 1000 ns molecular dynamics simulations revealed distinct stability and disruption profiles, with C1 and C4 showing the most favorable combination of stable groove occupancy, protein-protein interface perturbation, and ligand-binding energetics. Free-energy landscape analysis further supported these compounds as the most conformationally stable interfacial binders. Differential MM/PBSA analysis of the protein-protein interface showed that C1 produced the largest predicted weakening of the c-Myb-KIX interaction (ΔΔG
