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

Protein function modulation using small-molecule binding is an important therapeutic strategy for many diseases. However, many proteins remain undruggable due to the lack of suitable binding pockets for small-molecule binding. Proximity-induced protein degradation using molecular glues has recently been identified as an important strategy to target undruggable proteins. Molecular glues were discovered serendipitously and as such currently lack an established approach for in-silico-driven rationale design. In this work, we aim to establish an in-silico method for designing molecular glues. To achieve this, we leverage known molecular glue-mediated ternary complexes and derive a rationale for the in-silico design of molecular glues. Establishing an in-silico rationale for molecular glue design would significantly contribute to the literature and accelerate the discovery of molecular glues for targeting previously undruggable proteins. Our work presented here and named Molecular Glue-Designer-Evaluator (MOLDE) contributes to the growing literature of in-silico approaches to drug design in-silico literature.
