Discovery of a novel PLK1 inhibitor with high inhibitory potency using a combined virtual screening strategy.
Article in Journal of enzyme inhibition and medicinal chemistry, 2025. 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
PLK1 is essential for cell cycle regulation and proliferation, and its elevated expression in prostate cancer is associated with high tumour grade. Therefore, PLK1 inhibition is considered a promising strategy for the treatment of prostate cancer. Here, we identified five compounds (Hits 1-5) targeting the kinase domain (KD) of PLK1 using a combined virtual screening approach. Hits 1-5 all had picomolar (pM) inhibitory potency against PLK1. Notably, Hit-4 showed the strongest inhibitory activity against PLK1 (IC
