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

Targeted protein degradation (TPD) is a promising therapeutic modality to modulate protein levels and its application promises to reduce the "undruggable" proteome. Among TPD strategies, Proteolysis TArgeting Chimera (PROTAC) technology has shown a tremendous potential with attractive advantages when compared to the inhibition of the same target. While PROTAC technology has had a significant impact in scientific research, its application to degrade integral membrane proteins (IMPs) is still in its beginnings. Among the 15 compounds having entered clinical trials by the end of 2021, only two targets are membrane-associated proteins. In this review we are discussing the potential reasons which may underlie this, and we are presenting new tools that have been recently developed to solve these limitations and to empower the use of PROTACs to target IMPs.
