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

Selective stabilization of complexes formed by the hub protein 14-3-3 represents an emerging mechanism for the modulation of therapeutically relevant targets. In this letter, we describe a hit-finding campaign designed to identify small molecule stabilizers of the interaction between 14-3-3σ and the estrogen receptor alpha (ERα). Four structurally distinct hits were identified and validated using a combination of biochemical assays and biophysical techniques. Ternary complex crystal structures revealed that all four hit compounds form a covalent bond with Cys38 of 14-3-3σ via four different electrophilic warheads. Structure-based optimization of the most promising hit compound
