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

WD repeat domain 5 (WDR5) is a core scaffolding component of many multiprotein complexes that perform a variety of critical chromatin-centric processes in the nucleus. WDR5 is a component of the mixed lineage leukemia MLL/SET complex and localizes MYC to chromatin at tumor-critical target genes. As a part of these complexes, WDR5 plays a role in sustaining oncogenesis in a variety of human cancers that are often associated with poor prognoses. Thus, WDR5 has been recognized as an attractive therapeutic target for treating both solid and hematological tumors. Previously, small-molecule inhibitors of the WDR5-interaction (WIN) site and WDR5 degraders have demonstrated robust in vitro cellular efficacy in cancer cell lines and established the therapeutic potential of WDR5. However, these agents have not demonstrated significant in vivo efficacy at pharmacologically relevant doses by oral administration in animal disease models. We have discovered WDR5 WIN-site inhibitors that feature bicyclic heteroaryl P
