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

Bfl-1 is overexpressed in both hematological and solid tumors; therefore, inhibitors of Bfl-1 are highly desirable. A DNA-encoded chemical library (DEL) screen against Bfl-1 identified the first known reversible covalent small-molecule ligand for Bfl-1. The binding was validated through biophysical and biochemical techniques, which confirmed the reversible covalent mechanism of action and pointed to binding through Cys55. This represented the first identification of a cyano-acrylamide reversible covalent compound from a DEL screen and highlights further opportunities for covalent drug discovery through DEL screening. A 10-fold improvement in potency was achieved through a systematic SAR exploration of the hit. The more potent analogue compound
