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

Fusarium solani, an Ascomycota filamentous fungus species, causes shell disease or mycotic infections in wild and farmed shrimps. It causes black gill disease in shrimps, which has no specific treatments, so cutting-edge pharmaceutical research to prevent glutamine synthetase is needed to stop it and reduce its negative effects on aquaculture productivity and health. In silico drug design has been evaluated as an innovative treatment for black gill disease in shrimps caused by F. solani. Initially, molecular docking targeted the Glutamine synthetase (AF-Q9UUN6-F1-v4), utilising a set of 1,191 seaweed metabolites found in the Seaweed metabolite database (SWMD). The three lead compounds, CID: 359 (Phloroglucinol), 11640528 ((6E,10E,14E)-16-(2,5-dihydroxy-3-methylphenyl)-2-hydroxy-2,6,10,14-tetramethyl hexadeca-6,10,14-trien-3-one), and 8768 (Protocatechualdehyde), have binding affinities of -5.752, -5.374, and -5.102 kcal/mol, with negative binding free energies of -16.27, -48.99, and -27.48 kcal/mol, respectively. Additionally, they have excellent ADMET properties, making them safe and effective, whereas HOMO-LUMO and QSAR studies suggest thermodynamic stability and biological activity, notably antifungal efficacy. The compounds were subsequently assessed to verify their durability and binding affinity to the target protein by conducting an MD simulation analysis. In the MD simulation, the ligands evaluated in this study exhibited notable robustness of the proteins' binding site when complexed with CID: 8768, which suggests a strong interaction between the target and lead compound. Consequently, the compound obtained from the seaweed Polysiphonia lanosa may inhibit the fungal activity of F. solani glutamine synthetase protein, revealing that the compound might be an effective novel therapeutic candidate.
