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

Eukaryotic initiation factor 4A-1 (eIF4A1) is an ATP-dependent RNA helicase that unwinds 5'-UTR mRNA secondary structures to facilitate cap-dependent translation initiation. Rocaglates, a class of natural products typified by rocaglamide A (RocA), possess antineoplastic and anti-infectious activity mediated by their interaction with eIF4A1. Rocaglates inhibit cap-dependent translation initiation by "clamping" eIF4A1 onto polypurine RNA, which impedes ribosome scanning. A novel class of rocaglate derivatives, amidino-rocaglates (ADRs) which feature an amidine ring fused to the rocaglate core, is particularly effective at promoting eIF4A1-RNA-clamping compared to other rocaglate congeners. Herein, we present the X-ray crystal structure of an ADR in complex with eIF4A1, the nonhydrolyzable ATP ground-state mimic adenylyl-imidodiphosphate (AMPPNP), and poly r(AG)
