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

PROTACs are an emerging therapeutic approach towards targeted protein degradation. This article examines the leading examples of this modality that are in clinical development through the prism of their physicochemical properties. In particular, the optimisation of the various components of PROTACs together with the difficulties faced by medicinal chemists seeking to achieve oral bioavailability in this challenging space are outlined. Guidance, opinion and advice based on the authors' own experiences in this area are offered in the hope this may be useful to others working in this fascinating frontier of drug discovery.
