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

Small-molecule-induced protein depletion technologies, also called inducible degrons, allow degradation of genetically engineered target proteins within cells and animals. Here, we design and develop the BromoTag, a new inducible degron system comprising a Brd4 bromodomain L387A variant as a degron tag that allows direct recruitment by heterobifunctional bumped proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) to hijack the VHL E3 ligase. We describe extensive optimization and structure-activity relationships of our bump-and-hole-PROTACs using a CRISPR knock-in cell line expressing model target BromoTag-Brd2 at endogenous levels. Collectively, our cellular and mechanistic data qualifies bumped PROTAC AGB1 as a potent, fast, and selective degrader of BromoTagged proteins, with a favorable pharmacokinetic profile in mice. The BromoTag adds to the arsenal of chemical genetic degradation tools allowing us to manipulate protein levels to interrogate the biological function and therapeutic potential in cells and
