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

The human Ccr4-Not complex is a central regulator of post-transcriptional gene regulation, impacting on translation and mRNA degradation. In mRNA degradation, Ccr4-Not participates in the shortening of the mRNA poly(A)-tail via two catalytic subunits. The Caf1 nuclease is encoded by the highly similar paralogues CNOT7 or CNOT8. In addition to its poly(A)-specific ribonuclease activity, this subunit also provides a structural role by binding Ccr4, the second catalytic nuclease subunit encoded by the paralogues CNOT6 or CNOT6L. To facilitate investigations into the roles of the Caf1 subunit, and to complement genetic tools, we set out to identify inhibitors of the enzymatic activity of Caf1/CNOT7. To this end, we screened a library of 10,880 chemically diverse, drug-like compounds using a fluorescence-based biochemical assay. This effort led to the discovery of 15 inhibitors of Caf1/CNOT7 with biochemical IC
