Interaction of Cephalosporins with Human Serum Albumin: A Structural Study.
Article in Journal of medicinal chemistry, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Modification of the R1 and R2 side chain structures has been used as the main strategy to expand the spectrum of cephalosporins and impart resistance to hydrolysis by β-lactamases. These structural modifications also result in a wide range of plasma protein binding, especially with human serum albumin (HSA). Here, we determined the crystal structures of the HSA complexes with two clinically important cephalosporins, ceftriaxone and cefazolin, and evaluated the binding of cephalosporin to HSA by susceptibility testing and competitive binding assay. Ceftriaxone and cefazolin bind to subdomain IB of HSA, and their cephem core structures are recognized by Arg117 of HSA. Tyr161 of HSA changes its rotamer depending on the cephalosporin, resulting in alterations of the cavity shape occupied by the R2 side chain of cephalosporins. These findings provide structural insight into the mechanisms underlying the HSA binding of cephalosporins.
