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 reshaping drug discovery by enabling targeted protein degradation, overcoming the limitations of traditional inhibitors, and addressing previously "undruggable" proteins. The present perspective explores advancements in PROTAC molecular design, focusing on ligand discovery, E3 ligase recruitment, and ternary complex optimization. Integrating AI-driven modeling, FBDD, and SBDD accelerates PROTAC development. In contrast, emerging innovations, such as PHOTACs, hypoxia-responsive systems, and Ab-PROTACs, enhance precision and reduce systemic toxicity. Clinical successes, including ARV-110 for castration-resistant prostate cancer and ARV-471 for breast cancer, exemplify their ability to overcome resistance and provide durable effects. PROTACs are expanding into neurodegenerative diseases and rare conditions, highlighting their versatility. By addressing challenges in pharmacokinetics, safety, and scalability, PROTACs are poised to revolutionize precision medicine. This article presents a forward-looking perspective on conquering the molecular design and drugability of PROTACs, paving the path for transformative therapies.
