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

Hematopoietic progenitor kinase 1 (HPK1) is a negative regulator of T cell receptor, which has been regarded as a potential target for immunotherapy. Yu et al. observed the off-target effect of the high-throughput screening HPK1 kinase inhibitor hits on JAK1 kinase. The off-target effect is usually due to the lack of specificity of the drug, resulting in toxic side effects. Therefore, exploring the mechanisms to selectively inhibit HPK1 is critical for developing effective and safe inhibitors. In this study, two indazole compounds as HPK1 inhibitors with different selectivity towards JAK1 were used to investigate the selectivity mechanism using multiple computational methods, including conventional molecular dynamics simulations, binding free energy calculations and umbrella sampling simulations. The results indicate that the salt bridge between the inhibitor and residue Asp101 of HPK1 favors their selectivity towards HPK1 over JAK1. Information obtained from this study can be used to discover and design more potent and selective HPK1 inhibitors for immunotherapy.
