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 growth hormone-releasing hormone receptor (GHRHR) belongs to Class B1 of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Class B1 GPCR peptides such, as growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), have been proposed to bind in a two-step model, where first the C-terminal region of the peptide interacts with the extracellular domain of the receptor and, subsequently, the N-terminus interacts with the seven transmembrane domain of the receptor, resulting in activation. The GHRHR has recently been highlighted as a promising drug target toward several types of cancer and has been shown to be overexpressed in prostate, breast, pancreatic, and ovarian cancer. Indeed, peptide GHRHR antagonists have displayed promising results in many cancer models. However, no nonpeptide GHRHR-targeting compounds have yet been identified. We have utilized several computational tools to target GHRHR and identify potential small-molecule compounds directed at this receptor. These compounds were validated
