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

With the aim of finding the plant-derived allosteric inhibitors of caspase-3/-7, we conducted computational investigations of bioactive compounds present in various berry fruits. In a molecular docking study, perulactone demonstrated excellent binding affinity scores of -12.1 kcal/mol and -9.1 kcal/mol for caspase 7 and 3, respectively, whereas FDA-approved allosteric inhibitors (DICA and FICA) were found to show lower docking scores (-5.6 and -6.1 kcal/mol) against caspase 7 while (-5.0 and -5.1 kcal/mol) for caspase 3, respectively. MD simulations were used to validate the binding stability of perulactone in the active sites of caspase-7/-3, and the results showed outstanding stability with lower ligand RMSDs of 1.270-3.088 Å and 2.426-9.850 Å against the targeted receptor. Furthermore, we performed MMGBSA free binding energy, where the perulactone values of Δ Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s13205-024-04067-7.
