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

Molecular glue degraders (MGDs) are proximity-inducing agents that mediate the cooperative interaction between a target protein and an E3 ligase, introducing an additional layer of specificity beyond that afforded by traditional small molecules. Historically, molecular glues that stabilize protein-protein interactions were often discovered serendipitously. In this study, we leveraged the reprogramming potential of cereblon (CRBN)-based ligands and conducted a CRBN-dependent proliferation screen to identify CRBN-based MGDs capable of inducing the degradation of proteins essential for cell viability. Through our screening and subsequent medicinal chemistry optimization, we identified dCK1α-1 as a potent and selective CK1α-targeting molecular glue degrader. Furthermore, we synthesized an orally active derivative, dCK1α-2, with enhanced pharmacokinetic properties, which exhibited pronounced degradation activity and demonstrated efficacy in mouse models following oral gavage. These findings indicate that phenotypic drug discovery campaigns, in combination with chemically distinct CRBN ligand libraries, can accelerate the development of therapeutically relevant MGDs. Furthermore, the development of dCK1α-1 and dCK1α-2 provides new therapeutic options for cancers with functional p53 signaling and offers valuable chemical tools for future investigations into the role of CK1α.
