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

Proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC)-based degraders are highly potent pseudocatalytic drugs, but on-target off-site homing could yield undesirable consequences. We report here a generalizable AND-logic gated PROTAC, where the concurrent presence of two different disease-relevant endogenous stimuli liberates an active protein degrader. We design Dual-Action-Only PROTAC (DAO-PROTAC) molecules that are dormant and can only be activated in the presence of both hypoxia and cathepsin-L to degrade the protein of interest (POI). We also show that the dormancy of DAO-PROTACs translates to considerable mitigation of cytotoxicity, demonstrating the potential advantages over the corresponding free PROTAC and single-stimulus triggerable pro-PROTACs.
