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 signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) protein is constitutively activated in several cancers. STAT3 activity can be blocked by inhibiting its Src Homology 2 (SH2) domain, but phosphotyrosine and its isosteres have poor bioavailability. In this work, we develop peptide-based inhibitors of STAT3-SH2 by combining chemical strategies that have proven effective for targeting other SH2 domains. These strategies include a STAT3-specific selectivity sequence, non-hydrolyzable phosphotyrosine isosteres, and a high-efficiency cell-penetrating peptide. Peptides that combined these three strategies had substantial biological stability and cytosolic delivery, as measured using highly quantitative cell-based assays. However, these peptides did not inhibit STAT3 activity in cells. By comparing in vitro binding affinity, cell penetration, and proteolytic stability, this work explores the delicate balance of factors that contribute to biological activity for peptidic inhibitors of STAT3.
