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

In recent years, proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) technology has made significant progress in the field of drug development. Traditional drugs mainly focus on inhibiting or activating specific proteins, while PROTAC technology provides new ideas for treating various diseases by inducing the degradation of target proteins. Especially for peptide PROTACs, due to their unique structural and functional characteristics, they have become a hot research topic. This review provides a detailed description of the key components, mechanisms, and design principles of peptide PROTACs, elaborates on their applications in skin-related diseases, oncology, and other potential therapeutic fields, analyzes their advantages and challenges, and looks forward to their future development prospects. The development of peptide PROTAC technology not only opens up new paths for drug research and development, but also provides new ideas for solving the resistance and safety issues faced by traditional small-molecule drugs. Compared with small-molecule PROTACs, peptide PROTACs have advantages such as multitargeting, biodegradability, low toxicity, and flexibility in structural design. With the deepening of research and the continuous maturity of technology, peptide PROTACs are expected to become one of the important strategies for future drug discovery, providing new hope for the treatment of more intractable diseases. Peptide PROTACs are ushering in a new era of precision medicine.
