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 S-phase kinase-associated protein 2 (Skp2)-cyclin-dependent kinase subunit 1 (Cks1) protein-protein interaction (PPI) plays a central role in recognition of phosphorylated p27 and therefore represents an attractive target for anticancer drug discovery. Herein, we sought to identify new small-molecule disruptors of the Skp2-Cks1 interface from a focused fumiquinazoline-scaffold library by combining virtual screening, molecular simulation, and experimental validation. Docking showed that all selected compounds occupied the Skp2-Cks1 interfacial hotspot. However, longer 1000-ns MD simulations, comparative MM/PBSA calculations, and interface-related metrics revealed distinct structural, energetic, and dynamic binding profiles among the selected compounds. Consistent with these analyses, comparative MM/PBSA evaluation of PPI stability showed that Fumiquinazoline D produced a positive
