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

NF-κB signalling is frequently dysregulated in human cancers making it an attractive therapeutic target. Despite concerted efforts to generate NF-κB inhibitors, direct pharmacological inhibition of the kinases mediating canonical NF-κB has failed due to on-target toxicities in normal tissues. So, alternative strategies, designed to target specific components of the NF-κB signalling machinery, have the potential to selectively inhibit tumour cells whilst reducing the toxicities associated with broad inhibition of NF-κB in non-malignant cells. Here we present evidence that a C8-linked pyrrolobenzodiazepine (PBD) containing proteolysis-targeting chimera (PROTAC) selectively degrades the NF-κB subunit, RelA/p65, in a proteasome-dependent manner. Our lead PROTAC (JP-163-16, 15d) showed cytotoxicity with mean LC
