Synthesis and evaluation of tiaprofenic acid-derived UCHL5 deubiquitinase inhibitors.
Article in Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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 ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) plays an important role in maintaining protein homeostasis by degrading intracellular proteins. In the proteasome, poly-ubiquitinated proteins are deubiquitinated by three deubiquitinases (DUBs) associated with 19S regulatory particle before degradation via 20S core particle. Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase L5 (UCHL5) is one of three proteasome-associated DUBs that control the fate of ubiquitinated substrates implicated in cancer survival and progression. In this study, we have performed virtual screening of an FDA approved drug library with UCHL5 and discovered tiaprofenic acid (TA) as a potential binder. With molecular docking analysis and in-vitro DUB assay, we have designed, synthesized, and evaluated a series of TA derivatives for inhibition of UCHL5 activity. We demonstrate that one TA derivative, TAB2, acts as an inhibitor of UCHL5.
