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

For several well-documented reasons, it has been challenging to develop artificial small molecule inhibitors of protein/protein complexes. Such reagents are of particular interest for transcription factor complexes given links between their misregulation and disease. Here we report parallel approaches to identify regulators of a hypoxia signaling transcription factor complex, involving the ARNT subunit of the HIF (Hypoxia Inducible Factor) activator and the TACC3 (Transforming Acidic Coiled Coil Containing Protein 3) coactivator. In one route, we used in vitro NMR and biochemical screening to identify small molecules that selectively bind within the ARNT PAS (Per-ARNT-Sim) domain that recruits TACC3, identifying KG-548 as an ARNT/TACC3 disruptor. A parallel, cell-based screening approach previously implicated the small molecule KHS101 as an inhibitor of TACC3 signaling. Here, we show that KHS101 works indirectly on HIF complex formation by destabilizing both TACC3 and the HIF component HIF-1α. Overall, our data identify small molecule regulators for this important complex and highlight the utility of pursuing parallel strategies to develop protein/protein inhibitors.
