2-(Difluoromethyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazoles: The Future of Selective Histone Deacetylase 6 Modulation?
Article in ACS pharmacology & translational science, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) is an important target for the treatment of oncological and non-oncological diseases. Established HDAC6 inhibitors feature a hydroxamic acid as a zinc-binding group (ZBG) and thus possess mutagenic and genotoxic potential. Recently, the 2-(difluoromethyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (DFMO) group emerged as a novel ZBG. In this Viewpoint, we summarize the discovery of the mode of action of DFMOs. Additionally, we discuss opportunities and challenges in the journey toward the clinical development of DFMO-based drugs for the treatment of HDAC6-driven diseases.
