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

Recent advances in lysosome-targeting degradation technologies have introduced strategies to regulate therapeutic membrane proteins (MPs), potentially transforming treatment paradigms. However, challenges persist, including limited degradation precision due to the broad distribution of lysosome-targeting receptors (LTRs), as well as the high cost and complexity of recombinant protein production or chemical synthesis. Herein, it identifies sortilin as a promising LTR, highly expressed in malignancies but minimally present in healthy tissues outside the nervous system. Using AlphaFold-Multimer, it screened for a specific non-endogenous protein binder to sortilin and developed a modular, mRNA-encoded lysosomal targeting chimera (MedTAC) strategy, enabling rapid design and precise degradation of oncogenic MPs. In a breast cancer-bearing mouse model, a single low dose of MedTAC
