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

Fatty acid-binding protein isoforms 4 and 5 are potential diabetes and atherosclerosis targets. During a drug-design program aiming at dual isoform-specific FABP4/5 inhibitors with little or no affinity for FABP3, a set of crystal structures with a median resolution of 1.2 Å was generated. The chemical space of the ligands covers various series in which the carboxylate and aliphatic groups of the natural fatty-acid ligands have been replaced by other moieties. A summary of binding modes of the chemical series is also given with respect to how isoform specificity was achieved. Additionally, several bromine-containing ligands were identified that allowed SAD phasing, yielding an independent experimental confirmation of their chemical composition.
