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

Covering: up to April 2020 Proteases are involved in the regulation of many physiological processes. Their overexpression and dysregulated activity are linked to diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, viral infections, blood clotting disorders, respiratory diseases, and cancer. Therefore, they represent an important class of therapeutic targets. Several protease inhibitors have reached the market and >60% of them are directly related to natural products, even when excluding synthetic natural product mimics. Historically, natural products have been a valuable and validated source of therapeutic agents, as over half of the marketed drugs across targets and diseases are inspired by natural product structures. In the past two decades the number of new protease inhibitors discovered from nature has sharply increased. Additionally, the availability of 3D structural information for proteases has permitted structure-based design and accelerated the synthesis of optimized lead structures with improved potency and selectivity profiles, resulting in some of the most-potent-in-class inhibitors. These discoveries were oftentimes maximized by in-depth biological assessments of lead inhibitors, linking them to a relevant disease state. This review will discuss some of the current and emerging drug targets and their involvement in various disease processes, highlighting selected success stories behind several FDA-approved protease inhibitors that have natural products scaffolds as well as recent selected pharmacologically well-characterized inhibitors derived from marine or terrestrial sources.
