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 increasing prevalence of metabolic diseases, including nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), obesity, and type 2 diabetes, poses significant global health challenges. Ketohexokinase (KHK), an enzyme crucial in fructose metabolism, is a potential therapeutic target due to its role in these conditions. This study focused on the discovery of selective KHK inhibitors using in silico methods. We employed structure-based drug design (SBDD) and ligand-based drug design (LBDD) approaches, beginning with molecular docking to identify promising compounds, followed by induced-fit docking (IFD), molecular mechanics generalized Born and surface area continuum solvation (MM-GBSA), and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to validate binding affinities. Additionally, shape-based screening was conducted to assess structural similarities. The findings highlight several potential inhibitors with favorable ADMET profiles, offering promising candidates for further development in the treatment of fructose-related metabolic disorders.
