A PDE4 shortform degrader: a first in isoform-specific PDE4 inhibition.
Article in The FEBS journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Although phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitors have reached the clinic, their lack of selectivity for PDE4 enzyme isoforms leads to documented side effects. Building in enzyme selectivity has proved difficult because all PDE4 enzymes share highly conserved catalytic domains. The report by Sin et al. describes a novel approach in which a potent PDE4 proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) selectively promotes the degradation of a small subset of PDE4 isoforms (i.e., "short forms") and impacts inflammatory events regulated by these enzymes. This approach offers unparalleled selectivity, potency, and could represent the dawn of a new pharmacology for selective regulation of cyclic AMP (cAMP) signaling.
