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

SIRT6, a crucial regulator of aging and cellular homeostasis, represents a promising target for small-molecule activation. In this study, we investigate griseofulvin and its derivatives as novel SIRT6 activators, focusing on the recently developed compound forvisirvat, which has progressed to Phase 2 clinical study. Biochemical evaluation revealed that griseofulvin itself possesses strong SIRT6-activating properties, achieving up to 10-fold activity at 100 μM. Modification of the griseofulvin scaffold generally led to reduced activity, prompting a focus on the oxadiazole moiety of forvisirvat. This strategy produced several analogues with higher potency, the most active at 100 μM being
