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

Carbonic anhydrase IX (CA IX) is a hypoxia-induced pH regulator whose over-expression drives tumor progression and therapy resistance. Most CA inhibitors rely on zinc chelation and lack isoform selectivity, limiting clinical utility. Here we combined structure-based docking, 200 ns molecular-dynamics simulations and steady-state enzyme kinetics to assess four rare sulfonamide/sulfone natural products (altemicidin, SB-203207, SB-203208 and sulfadixiamycin A) as non-classical CA IX blockers. Docking located every ligand at the mouth of the catalytic funnel (- 7.2 to - 9.4 kcal mol⁻¹) without coordinating Zn²⁺. MD-derived free-energy landscapes and MM/PBSA calculations confirmed durable entrance-bound complexes for SB-203207/208 and sulfadixiamycin A (ΔG
